They largely source parts from the same source, they're largely made out of the same materials. Steve Jobs had released a report announcing plans to eliminate PVC and BFRs by the end of 2008. Apple has since eliminated PVC and BFRs across its product range. In actuality it became the first laptop maker to remove PVC and BFR's from their products. n June 2007, Apple upgraded the MacBook Pro, replacing cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlit LCD displays with mercury-free LED backlit LCD displays and arsenic-free glass.
