Correct. Apple is a hardware vendor that orders specified parts from other companies, puts their brand on the box, and installs their operating system. You left out the part where they design the system first. You could correctly call them a hardware design firm that often contracts out the actual manufacture. I know their notebooks and Mac mini are contracted out, but I think they still make the G5 themselves.
I use an MX1000, and my only problem is that the combo dock/receiver prohibits portability.
I use the wireless keyboard/MX700 mouse combo. Sweet.
"You left out the part where they design the system first."
Well, that really goes without saying. Side note: since Asus makes a lot of stuff for Apple, they're trying to cash in on Apple's success by making PC laptops that look like iBooks.
"I use the wireless keyboard/MX700 mouse combo. Sweet."
Not a bad setup. I was going to wait for an MX1000 keyboard/mouse combo pack, but Logitech hasn't done anything in that area yet, so I just grabbed the mouse. It'd be nice if there was a Mac-styled mouse with the ergonomics and/or button amount of the MX1000. If I pick up a Mac laptop (which it looks like I will), I'll have to use
this.
