The attention to detail isn't always a good thing, though. Sometimes, they see the tree (wow, a thinner display cable) instead of the forest (this hinge has to flex thousands of times). Other times, they'll see a much thinner keyboard, but miss that debris could break the mechanism entirely. Even other times, they can forget to enable proper thermal controls or network drivers. Or, they can make sure your phone doesn't charge unless it wakes first. Bugger.

I mean, compared to $400 HPs or $200 Samsungs, there's definitely more attention to detail, but that isn't exactly a very fair comparison.

I'd argue that the whole consumer electronics industry is negligent, including Apple.
