'Ethical' Laptop?

RE: 'Ethical' Laptop?
I certainly don't agree with how the employees are treated in the Foxconn plants in China, but as shrek stated, most, if not all electronic devices contain unethical materials and/or were produced using unethical labour.

I'm not a laptop person myself, but a few months ago I considered maybe getting one for a staff course that I was attending, and looked at all of the available offerings.

In my opinion, nothing came close to the latest MacBook Pro's when it came to build quality or form factor, especially the smaller one, which could easily be carried around inside a Filofax. (The standard MacBook and MacBook Air are irrelevant in my opinion!)

I am aware that there are many Apple haters here (STOP HATING! Smile ), and I'm okay with that fact, as everyone's entitled to their own opinion. This is just my opinion, for what it's worth! (Zero compromise!)

Apple should move the manufacturing of its MacBook Pro's back to the US, as the Mac Pro is made in the US. (This will result in added cost though!)

For the record, I wouldn't mind it at all if Apple was the only computer manufacturer left in the world, as I love their products! The Trashcan is the best computer I've ever owned, as its given me the least trouble and I will get the new Mac Pro next year. (Provided the global economy doesn't crash, the world doesn't end or I don't die before then!)
