The people who can afford it, educated or not.
Think of the luxury car market -- they're not aimed at "the man in the
street" and yet they survive (well, Saab didn't but that's a different
story). And not everybody who owns one could be considered one of the
"educated classes."
Think of Whole Foods -- their prices are very often the highest of any
grocery store in the same area, yet they are expanding during a down
economy.
People who shop at Walmart are often buying on price alone, while people
who shop at the Apple Store are buying on quality alone. People who
shop at Best Buy are fairly evenly split between the two categories,
which is why Best Buy carries the cheap stuff right next to Apple products.
