Why Apple's 27" LED Cinema Display is a Mistake

Apple has got to either shrink the size or the price of the $999 27" LED Cinema Display. Here's why it can't get paired with any Mac:

Mac Mini- A Mac Mini plus a 27" LED Cinema Display costs $1,699. For $100 less, you could get the 27" iMac, which has the same size display as well as WAY better tech specs

iMac 21.5"- That would cost you $2,199. For a goood $600 less, you could get the 27" iMac, with the same specs and the same size display.

iMac 27"- Excuse me, but that already has a 27" display.

Mac Pro - Buying one already costs around $3,000. Are you sure you're going to add an extra $1,000 to that?!

MacBook - If you're getting a MacBook (the cheapest Mac laptop), you must be trying to save money. And then spending another thousand bucks for a 27" display? Not too money-saving.

MacBook Air 11" - If the screen is too small, get the 13" MacBook Air. And that costs $1,400. Adding an extra $1,000? Not such a good idea.

MacBook Air 13" - Er... that costs $2,400?!

MacBook Pro 13" -  If you aren't carrying it around more than 3 times a week, save $400 by going for the 15" MacBook Pro. The screen there is pretty big. While if you do carry it around more than 3 times a week, this is gonna cost you $2,200, and you should get the 13" MacBook Air. But pairing the MacBook Air 13" with a 27" LED Cinema Display costs $2,400.

MacBook Pro 15" or 17" - The screens are mega enough on these MacBooks. Oh, and it will cost you $2,800 or $3,300, depending on your size.
