I found a fascinating video (split into two parts for YouTube):

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUjyh2Fhnuk

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1nG2Uo5avM

I defy anyone NOT to enjoy this video - I think it's great!!. ;D

That is what I had thought this video would document; modern Macs. Still, very interesting.

The same way mine was, my grandmother's was, my friend's was, and every other one I've encountered has been; poorly, and with way too much thermal compound. :Grimmace:

I doubt you'd see one now; they probably have issues with sweatshop labour, but I don't actually know.

How do you know they were Chinese?...

Wait just a cotton-picking minute! Are you trying to tell me they are NOT made in heaven??!!

I meant these days.

Foxconn's factories had some concerns a couple of yrs ago, Apple did a probe in to it. They hired a monitoring service/improvement service of sorts.

LMAO at the long-haired dude in the pink t-shirt and camo pants. He's on the part 1 vid in the first couple minutes.

A lot of Mac's ship from China. Asus of Taiwan manufactures a lot of the motherboard for apple. Back at the beginning it was all assembled here in the USA as that video shows, but times have changed. It's not just Apple either. So it would be hard to do a video of a current Mac being assembled.
