John: good points. Within the past couple years, Apple wrote a $3.9 billion check just to lock up high density LED backlit displays so they'd be guaranteed the quantity they needed to sell 15 million of those puppies in 9 months. And demand still outstripped their supply capability.
Looking at the Sandy Bridge debacle, Intel had barely announced its fix for the faulty initial batches when Apple began shipping Sandy Bridge powered MBPs. Their manufacturing turnaround and component supply control is impressive.
