>>exactly, a Macbook can't really be any better or worse quality wise because they are all built at the same CMs. The only way apple can improve on quality is with software quality or component/parts at the onset (like, for example choosing a quality keyboard and not one of those cheap Dell rattling things). But in terms of motherboard etc, they are all the same with razor thin margins.<< Lizzie - I think a MacBook can be and is better than Dells or Compaqs because Apple can and does specify better parts, as you say. But also, they have always collaborated with partners in the design of their motherboards. They definitely do not use the same motherboards as Dell or any of the other computer makers. - Allen
