I don't mean to justify Apple's policies with regards to Foxconn, but Apple delivers its products on time, on a massive scale. Contrast this with Lenovo, who released a Macbook Air copycat in August, the X1 Carbon. I ordered it as soon as it came out, and it still has not shipped.

I had a Lenovo and hated it. It felt like a cheap computer made entirely of plastic. With normal use, the enclosure started to crack. Later pieces of the enclosure actually started falling off. I'll never buy one again.

You mean like virtually every single MacBook ever? A fault Apple only fixed by discontinuing the line? https://www.google.com/search?q=macbook+wrist+rest+cracks...

Discontinuing the line and replacing all broken cases for free. I changed mine twice at no charge.

I am sure lenovo has produced inferior laptops before, but the X1 Carbon was supposedly stress tested by machines that open and close the lid for days on end to test the hinge, and also machines that press the keys repeatedly, to ensure that the function of these components do not deteriote substantially over time.
