No, other companies push the envelope. Touch screens and 360 hinges and fingerprint readers to name a few. Plus most motherboards in laptops are custom designed

No, other companies push the envelope. Touch screens and 360 hinges and fingerprint readers to name a few. Plus most motherboards in laptops are custom designed as well. Dell always designs the cooling system differently to try and be quiet but cheap for their desktops, I could go on but I'd rather just close by saying Apple isn't the only one who uses custom parts. Off the shelf to custom ratio is probably pretty close to the other big players.
