    If they're given machines to build which don't exceed their QC capability, nothing particularly wrong with Quanta (or Asus, Compal, Clevo, etc).

    However that seems to be something that Apple hasn't yet quite managed...

    Well the M15x still has issues with failing Hinges. The quality from my returned M15x to my Apple is night and day. Not even comparable really. The M15x was a complete embarrasment side by side.
