His Intel savior and why Apple moved to Intel and ditched IBM/Motorola chips.

That's just blind to history. Apple ditched PPC because neither IBM nor Freescale (Moto had gotten out of the business) could produce chips that were fast enough while using little power. It was killing Apple's notebook line. Intel was finishing up development of the Core line of chips, which was perfect for Apple's energy efficiency requirements.

The Wiki entries on Quanta and its owner Barry Lam are revealing as far as Apple goes.

Quanta is ONE of the manufacturers of Apple notebooks, using Apple's proprietary CNC technology for the aluminum bodies, using Apple's motherboards. Notice how the innards of a MacBook don't look like the innards of any other Quanta-made notebook.

You've been spouting these lies for too long. I bet you think Samsung also designed the chip used in the iPad, since Samsung also makes them.

So which line do they make and what Apple laptops do other Taiwan CMs make for Apple. Such as who makes the Macbook Air? I’d like one of those but I would run Windows 7 on it
