> if anybody wants to dish out something on an order of $1.5m to do a contract manufacturing run for a properly designed full sized laptop, give me a note.
Something tells me that Apple spent more than $1.5M designing the recent MacBook Pro.
It is a bit presumptuous to say "well i could do it better" when referencing an entire team of qualified electrical engineers at one of the largest corporations in the world that has near limitless resources.
Especially coming from such a qualified background as "a person somewhat close to electronics engineering".
