There is an important omission in this statement.  The sentence should 
begin "In the USA.....", as should any discussions by USA residents of the 
cost of hardware.

Not all of us can buy our hardware in the USA, even if we can afford the 
hardware, and prices outside the USA can be (in my experience usually are) 
significantly higher.
