Really. So what's the difference between a laptop full of hardwired known
components & a laptop full of hardwired known components?

No reason why Apple can't hop off to taiwan, have a look at some mobo designs &
pick one for a nice look case which they have designed (though like they have
in the past they could outsource the designing of the case as well).

So remind me again why people buy Macs. I know why my Dad bought one (a
laptop).
