    Since Dell took over, what ODM is making AW's stuff now? The m15x and m17x look nothing like what clevo is putting out now, so i wonder who is building their hardware now?

    For their m15x and m17x, its seems to be from Quanta

    For their previous m9700 and m9750, it was Arima.

    But it's not like Quanta designs it -- remember Apple gets their laptops through Quanta, and you think Jobs would accept something that wasn't designed in-house at Apple? ;)

    The m5550 was a Uniwill model rebranded as an AW.
