Sure, it doesn't go very far in the Apple ecosystem, but you can get a solid set of equipment for much less. For examine, a Thinkpad will run $500-1500 (depending on the model), a solid tablet can be found for ~$500, and plenty of decent phones are ~$500 (mine was $250). Altogether, that's <$2000 for a solid set of devices.

OK -- but no one specified that, and I'd argue that Apple has the most complete and polished ecosystem available. So I think it's very fair to compare that cost of Apple products.
