Those are some pretty high tech factories over there.

The sophisticated robots that machine the cases for the MacBook Pros are certainly very high tech. My understanding is that Apple worked closely with the manufacturers to develop the technology to be able to mill those cases from aluminum billets, while recovering all the usable aluminum that gets cut away.
