Working for a reseller for a few years we saw a high number of failures of Apple gear, higher than Compaq, HP, IBM (didn't sell/service Dell since they deal direct) |

Are Apple Notebooks Made in the USA ?
I am looking to purchase a new notebook computer and would prefer an
Apple system due to the superior architecture, reliability and service. However, I am also opposed to outsourcing and will not buy anything made outside the US and Canada unless it is impossible find otherwise. Now I haven't been able to confirm where Apple has these notebooks produced, but a brief search on Google hinted at Made in China. Is this the case? If so, I will pass on Apple and just go with a Dell inorder to save a few bucks. |

Apple notebooks are made by Quanta and Compal, which are two of Dell's
biggest suppliers. My iBook came from Taiwan; a brand-new Dell D800, from Malaysia, by way of Compal, which also makes the wide-screen Apple PowerBooks for Apple.

Entity Mean Mr Mustard spoke thus:
Now I haven't been able to confirm where Apple has these notebooks produced, but a brief search on Google hinted at Made in China. No, Taiwan. Is this the case? If so, I will pass on Apple and just go with a Dell inorder to save a few bucks. Hope you enjoy your new Apple laptop! Although you could still argue that Taiwan is part of China... -- Gnarlie's virtual Tour de Santa Fe: http://Gnarlodious.com/SantaFe/Tour.php |

If so, I will pass on Apple and just go with a Dell inorder to save a few bucks. I'm not aware of any laptop being 'Made' in the US. 'Assembled' maybe, though I can't find anything on Google. The best quality items are now made offshore. Products actually "made in America" are usually assembled by ex-cons, or current cons (prison labor), Mexicans, Haitians, or, in some cases, by inner city negro welfare cases. When I buy a product, I look for assembly outside one of the "we be niggaz" assembly zones. In other words, I look for quality, offshore assembly. None of my Macs were built by ******s. --Tim May |

Do you really think that you can find any product that is not at least partly and more often fully made outside the US???? You're really a very naive American! -- Groeten, Antonio (Voor email, verwijder X) |
