It's quite possible, but IBM extracts a sizeable royalty from those who manufacture and sell its PCs. That strikes me as a major disadvantage in a sector that already has rather thin margins.

FWIW,
Ian.

Greg - I believe the Aptiva has been sourced from Taiwan for some time now, and I seem to recall reading that it's via Acer.
