Comment(by danerogers):

 Replying to [comment:2 arnold]:
 > According the pictures, there were black cables exposed on the bottomn
 side of the boxes. These cables should not be included inside the box. It
 seems these boxes had been re-packed after shipping out from Quanta. Also,
 based on the appearance of these boxes, these boxes had been moved and
 pulled on the the ground for a while.

 > Our packing/taping process is not for XO only, also for a lot of other
 Quanta notebooks.  Qunata don't suggest changing it.

 Sorry for slow reply.  There were no "black cables" exposed on the box.
 That was an ink pen inserted to hold the box bottom away from the sides
 for "clarity" of the photo - I apologize that it caused confusion.  The
 boxes were clearly factory packaged as the contents were perfectly bagged
 and had never been opened.  Damage on the boxes was representative of
 normal shipping, thus my concern.  I received many Quanta packaged
 machines while at Hewlett Packard and broken tape was unusual.  The form
 factor for a standard, single laptop box, is long and narrow.  The narrow
 bottom may have lower strength requirement.  The five pack XO box is wide
 and the bottom tape may be experiencing greater force.  Please reconsider.
