MBA display cost revealed
March 5th 2008
CENS (Taiwan) reports that Taiwanese LCD and backlight manufacturers are benefiting from rising MacBook Air orders.
The report claims that AU Optronics makes the 13.3 LED-backlit display used by the MBA. Also, Kenmos Technology and Nano Electro-Optical are said to be the manufactures of the super-thin backlighting units used therein.
Taken altogether the low-power display used in the MacBook Air is said to cost from $150 to $170.
Editor's note: Where's iSuppli with their component / manufacturing cost breakdown? Inquiring minds want to know, or at least accept the guestimate of people who say they know, how much money Apple's making...
What's your take?
