Cool video demonstrating the new MacBook fabrication:

This monocoque (unibody is just lame
) design looks really cool. Would a nice mechanical guy estimate how much does it cost to fabricate something like that? Even with huge scale of production it appears to take some time to machine the brick - and it looks like Apple (well, some contracted firm on China - mechanical Foxconn?) is even extruding Aluminum into plates as part of the process.
