Let me first recognize that a number of people are getting MBPs that they are thrilled with and have high performance. Some good units, hard of hearing, low expectations - who knows? At the other end are a number of people with horror tales of multiple MBPs with multiple problems. Bad units, too much looking and listening for problems, too high a set of expectations - I doubt it but hard to answer. I am confident, however, that Apple must be embarrased by the number of problems and the lack of Quanta performance, and ultimely the choice they made in going with Quanta as their vendor.
What are your thoughts as to why Quanta - now in the EIGHTH MONTH of production, is still producing MBPs with some of the same issues as we were seeing in the first several weeks? I wonder if part of the issue is that Apple has little manufacturing expertise as they outsource and the companies they outsource to also outsource to others, who in turn.......... :-0 Befor you know it you are 5 levels removed from Apple's expectations and here we are.
Are they not capable of correcting the issues? Do they not know? Do they not care? Might Apple be looking around to move production back to ASUSTEK or someone else that can perform more in line with the Apple image?
Not all - but so much of this is quality 101 stuff (missing keys, 17" floppy screens, misalignments, speaker distortion, etc.). EIGHT MONTHS........
I'm not laying the whine & heat on them as it appears that Apple / Intel may own more of those issues directly. Of course, Apple most importantly owns the selection of Quanta - feels like a really bad choice :-(
