Since Apple formed an alliance with Intel, perhaps Apple could learn from Intel's other alliance members. Like what? Perhaps, Apple designers could go to Dell to learn how to build a rugged portable and not one of these poorly constructed models that have parts coming unglued, cracks on the case, and a palm area that has become detached from the outer portion of the case. If Apple cannot build a rugged portable, they can stick a gerbil on a stationary wheel inside the darn thing for all I care because I will ask my employer for a Dell. Now, a Dell built portable, running Mac OS would be great.
