Apple turns towards Sony for Intel laptop design
1:16PM, Monday 1st August 2005
Apple is recruiting former Sony engineers to help it build its new, Intel-based laptops, according to Engadget.
The website claims that a reliable source told them that Apple is 'having trouble playing catch up with the learning curve for designing using the Intel platform' and as a result has been 'scrambling' to hire engineers with experience of developing light notebooks, of which the Sony Vaios are a prime example. A Japanese headhunting firm is said to have been contracted to find potential recruits.
If true, the report harks back to the first-ever PowerBook which was manufactured - and some say designed - for Apple by Sony.
Apple declined to comment.
