<p>It has a certain sci-fi ring, but the advantages are real: No screws, no thin, bendy sheets of metal and great heat dissipation (a real problem with current notebooks). And Steve Jobs has previous: He <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1990/02/26/73121/index.htm">built a hi-tech factory</a> full of lasers and robots to manufacture the NeXT computer.</p>
<p>We’d love this to be true. The idea certainly fits into Apple’s obsession with controlling each stage of its products process. Taking the manufacturing part away from generic Computer builders like Asustek would mean that Apple controlled the whole shebang, from factory floor to shop floor.</p>
<p>With the expected launch of a new MacBook (or MacBook Pro) sometime this month, we won’t have to wait long. We’ll leave you with a fun comment from 9to5Mac’ source:</p>
<blockquote><p>Apple has built a manufacturing process that would make Henry Ford proud.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>From this we presume that all new MacBooks will be available in just one color. Black.</p>
