Don't disagree with you... though I tend to believe part of the reason for the limited supply of Penryn processors is the fact Apple has been manufacturing new MacBooks and MacBook Pros like crazy getting ready for this launch.
Neither Axiotron nor OWC manufacture the base unit... the MacBook... they just get them from Apple and then modify them. If Apple has the supply, in theory, so should the ModBook distributors. The bigger problem seems to be the other parts that make up the Axiotron modification kit... for some reason that no one knows (because Axiotron won't say) they have had a hard time supplying the modification kits to OWC, who are the ones actually DOING the modification.
New MacBooks and MacBook Pros Announced Today
