Apple's new MacBook is Mm Mm good

—

Looks like Apple spent a bit too much time on its brick manufacturing process and not enough on key sorting. It's certainly not the first time we've seen Apple make such an Airror . [Thanks, Mark V.] Continue reading Apple's new MacBook is Mm Mm good Permalink  |  Email this ...

Tech Blog — ... According to this picture, Apple's QC (quality control) seems to have missed the "B" key during the key sorting process. Click here for one more. It's certainly not the first time we've seen Apple make such an Airror. [via Engadget]
