"There can be no doubt that 2005 was a stellar year for Apple. From record-breaking quarterly financial reports and the release of Mac OS X Tiger to the announced transition of the Macintosh to the Intel platform and new iPods, Apple fired on all cylinders throughout much of the year, creating unprecedented demand for many of its products." Update: Here are photos of the cooling system for the Quad-core PowerMac-- one of those could counteract global warming. Seriously.

>>"shoddy iBook build quality"
I live in the real world, own an ibook and have bought 2 more for others and no of no such build quality problems nor have I heard anything that wasn't quickly fixed by the company.
>>"logic board and screen failures"
You find failures with any company. Apple hasn't been immune to some failed products, but their failure rate is below the average. I remember reading that in consumer reports.
>>"PowerBook heating issues"
see above response
>>"Nano battery problems"
Few and far between
>>"Here's a clue: who makes Apple notebooks? That's right, th same ODMs that make laptops for Sony, HP, and loads of others."[/i]
I know someone that bought a ford festiva and another that bought a Ford mustang. They came from the same manufacturer, yet the build quality was differen't. It appears as if the company bought a differen't level of build quality for one product as compared to another. It would seem the same is true for Apple is the afformentioned companies.
>>"IBM-built ThinkPads are significantly better when it comes to part sourcing, component quality and rigid build structure."
Of all the reviews that I've read, the two are on par with one another.
