What scares me is the Macbook seems to be the first Apple laptop since the Powerbook 100 that wasn't designed by Apple (bar the case design) - Sony designed the 100. Easily changeable hard drives, integrated graphics, glossy screen. A lot like an ASUS laptop :- ( Great to be able to change drives, though :-)

That's because most of the (internal) design work for these machines was done by ex-Sony guys and Intel.

And yes... they are made by AsusTek.
