oh boy... what brand hard drive does Apple use? Seagate, Western Digital? What about Video cards? Nvidia? ATI? What about DVD players? Samsung, Sony, Nec, Benq, Plextor? uhh huh... like i said same stuff.. and Foxconn motherboards, taiwan just like the rest of them. Personally i'd rather have Asus.
