You got me going there with your comment on most notebooks sold.
As an apple stock holder i was getting all excited. But unfortunately that is not even close. Apple is #7 for several past quarters.

Anything that's top end 'Made in Japan' does not get exported. We get all the B-Grade and below stuff.
Whoops. I thought I read this in a news article somewhere but I was going off of memory so sorry if I got you going. Those numbers are "wordwide" numbers though, I wonder what numbers for just the United States would look like.
Well I'm going by word of reading this forum. I read in the imac forum that people were having better luck with "made in usa" imacs with regards to a yellow tint screen issue. I believe they said a "Q" denotes if its made in the USA but I'm not sure. I did a search in the imac forum and this is what I found.

Here is another thing, some claiming that CTO are made in USA because Apple changes out a few things and can then claim it was assembled in the USA, regardless of that it still has a "Made in the USA" sticker so the only thing that is clear is that some do come with the "Made in the USA" sticker, what exactly that means is still open since I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Wrong, at least according to this thread which talkes about the Vaio TZ,
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=252363&made+in+japan
Tons of people with the laptop say that they have a sticker claiming "made in japan".
Other people in this thread talking about the newly released Vaio Z say that if you buy a pre-configured model it is made from Japan and a CTO is made in USA.

So all these computers made in japan and the usa will definately cost more because of labor but the quality should be higher.
From what I've seen Sony Vaios are great little notebooks, but since they do not come with OS X pre-installed they are not an option.
I agree with this. If windows Vista gave me a Boot Camp option of their own to run Leopard OSX, I would buy the Sony Vaio laptop right now.
I simply fell in love with OSX. It's very much the same as driving a Honda civic around then switching to a Lexus.
Why would you go back to the Civic if you didn't have to?
This is my Operating system analogy.
Great news! I just found out that I can buy something from the £1 shop for Waaaay cheaper than anywhere else. Don't mind the quality, or the looks, just LOOK at that price!
