    Probably about 1/3rd of what Apple wants to charge for them.

      @Lerianis10 That's make sense !!! And quite cheap if you ask me.
      If you produce tech and distribute, you better get that much profit. Produce new tech you better double or triple the cost price. Remember the cost of your designers and research.
      To distribute 30% is fair enough.

• This is it. This is the limit of the technically possible.

  Awesome piece of technology. It can't be put further. That oughta be enough for every computer user.
  
  By the way, nice from Apple to make an extra PCB for the ports. If they are worn out, you don't need to buy a new motherboard. Nice.

  I paid $32.68 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, BidsNew. com

• Resistor off?

  Slide # 48; is that right? I've only very rarely seen a resistor sitting at an angle like that unless it has been misplaced.

    @radsdau@... <br>it can not be misplaced, it's an Apple.<br>so it must be a spare part somehow.<br>It's optional, so if you want to use it they will charge you for it.<br><br>but most prob. the P&P machine lost this part (0402 / 0201?) and dropped it.<br>On the other side of the chip you can see a place where it is missing something?<br>very well spotted btw!!

  So now that you can open the darn thing, can you turn it into a monster. IE: add a bigger HD,etc?
