Apple’s MacBook shipments are expected to remain strong during the fourth quarter of this year, <em>DigiTimes</em> reported on Tuesday. There has been a bit of speculation that the company’s shipments might be affected due to flooding in Thailand, which has <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/10/thailand-floods-may-hurt-shipments-increase-prices-for-pc-makers/">impacted hard drive manufacturing</a>, and a recent order for the company’s chassis supplier to freeze its production line. The chassis supplier, Catcher Technology, was reportedly ordered to stop production in October over concerns that the company was over-polluting. Apple’s computer manufacturer, Quanta Computer, shipped 5.3 million units last month and sources speaking to <em>DigiTimes</em> said the increase was largely related to orders for Apple’s MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is reportedly faring just as well. According to new NPD figures that were revealed in a recent Morgan Stanley note, the MacBook Air was responsible for 28% of all Apple notebook shipments during the first half of this year.<span id="more-112692"></span>
