The word "unibody" does not refer to a process of milled metal - it refers to a design where the external main case and structural frame are one and the same part. Previously laptops would have an assembly of parts that together create the struct…

I think it's a crying shame that all the manufacturers are dumping composite video. I mean really. The cables are cheap - you can't get more simple than a single RCA jack, and Radio Shack keeps them in stock! Just about every single TV ever made …
