I'd say pretty close though.

Makes for streamlined profits.
I don't think he's saying one company makes the complete unit, then ships it out for 'stamping'.
Many products are built in one plant using the same lines and equipment, some have minor design elements changed, features disabled etc.
For many electronic assembly lines, it's much easier to fully populate the board then simply disable features not asked for.
Open many computers up and you'll see the same part numbers and other markings on the boards themselves. Simply comparing specs on them and you'll see that most are the exact same system.
The wrapper may be different, but most hold the same contents.

Ken.
