Apple Orders PC Builder to 'Choose Sides' in Laptop Battle
Apple reportedly put pressure on a Taiwanese manufacturer of its popular MacBook Air, asking them to choose between building that Cupertinian laptop or the ASUS Zenbook.
According to a story in the Chinese-language Commercial Times (Google Translate), Apple has told the manufacturer, Pegatron, to "choose sides" – 選邊 – between manufacturing the MacBook Air and the Zenbook, citing the "high similarity" – 相似度高 – between the two products, presumably the Zenbook's thinness and unibody construction. _______________ Source: The Register

No, it's just that most consumers don't know, don't understand or don't care about what Apple gets up to as long as it delivers them their nice trendy products.

Mmmm... big selling point for the Zen if it's made in the same factory by the same people. So I don't blame Apple for wanting exclusivity from the manufacturer.
