According to Digitimes, Apple is continuing to shift its MacBook manufacturing away from Foxconn (Hon Hai) and to Quanta Computer. It isn't certain what is causing Apple to move but things like manufacturing costs, quality and workplace conditions could all be factors.
Apple and Sony will reportedly shift some notebook OEM orders from Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) to Quanta Computer in 2010, according to sources at component makers. Apple already shifted some orders from Foxconn in June meaning the OEM's share of Apple's notebook shipments in 2010 is expected to drop from 20% to only around 10%, the sources noted. However, despite losing orders from Apple and Sony, Foxconn has reportedly formed partnerships with Dell and Asustek Computer, as well as landing orders from Hewlett-Packard (HP) for 2010, the sources added.

I hope they will have a better quality control, so things like dead pixels, dents, or dust behind the screen glass doesn't happen.
Dropping Hon Hai
Apple needs to break all ties with such a company as Hon Hai or become no better than them as far as workplace conditions go. So many US big box companies utilize such "sweat shop" manufacturers ultimately feeding the dragon by supporting low wage semi forced labor in third world countries where human rights are an afterthought. The recent "suicide" by one of it's young engineers over the "mis-placing" of a prototype 4G iphone reeks
of corporate cover-up and subsequently a 1st degree murder that may end up not ever being truthfully resolved. I believe any company that would contract Hon Hai for it's products R&D outsourcing should be boycotted no matter who it is. Fleecing individuals for overpriced products like cutting edge electronics is totally out of hand considering the cost of manufacturing in such a place as Taiwan, China, S.Korea, India, and of course, Mexico to name a few key players. The trouble with the US today started with NAFTA and continues to grow like a cancer. As for murdering someone to try and save a company to company contract cannot go un checked. I smell a rat in the kitchen and it's name is Hon Hai. Apple needs to transfer all production immediately from them. We must stop feeding dragon's.
