Apple Doubling Production of Certain 'Hot-Selling' Notebook Models?
In a brief report on declining shipments in Taiwan's notebook manufacturing segment, DigiTimes claims that Apple and Samsung are the only major notebook companies increasing production over the year ago quarter, with the notebook industry as a whole reportedly targeting flat production compared with the year-ago quarter and down 5-10% from last quarter.
Apple is seen as one of the biggest boosts to the notebook market, with the company reportedly seeking to as much as double production of some "hot-selling" notebook models.
Samsung has been performing better than other brands by taking up deliveries from the suppliers, the sources noted, adding that Apple reportedly is revising upward its orders with the volume of some hot-selling models being doubled.
Apple has been widely rumored to be on the verge of releasing new MacBook Pro models, which could explain such a significant ramp up in production as the company seeks to fill sales channels with the new models and stay ahead of customer demand. Despite dealing with a "design error" that has set back chipset production, Intel has announced a February 20th shipping date for the dual-core Sandy Bridge processors expected to be used in the next-generation MacBook Pro.Top Rated Comments

Ivy will be a lil' better and , who wants the defect worries.
(and yes I understand only 2 SATA ports are affected)
I sure the new ones will be nice also
Personally I glad I bought when I did and I am very happy :D

Hopefully the new MacBook Pros use the faster 6Gbit/s SATA ports.
This would mean that shipments to Apple never stopped.
I would hold back on Sandy Bridge

I'm sure 0 of the SATA ports would be affected on any Macs with sandy bridge. Apple is going to put chips with defects in their stuff when they know about the defects. Intel is paying to replace all those chips, anyway.
iPads and iPhones have seemed to take over for the past year. Hope they do not neglect their computing business.
About time they foucsed their attentions Back To Mac.

sick of the ipad crap. at its best its still a niche product..high sales only reflect its mass marketing. sort of like the nintendo wii.
at the end of the day, people will turn away and still go back to do real work on their MBPs.
like how most families now have a wii...but never use it

I don't think "niche" means what you think it means.
