[QUOTE="Thud, post: 97395"] When you open the box, the wrapper clearly says [b]Designed by Apple in California.[/b] Yes, designed in California. The design was then sent to a sweatshop in China for production.... like all computers and electronics these days. Since all the individual components are made in China to begin with, doesn't it make sense to assemble the whole computer there? I don't know of any computer manufacturer that actually has production facilities in the US anymore... unfortunately. I bet you didn't know that Apple powerbooks/ibooks are made by the very same company that makes Dell, HP, and Gateway notebooks, did you? ([url=http://www.hoovers.com/quanta-computer/--ID__100849--/freeuk-co-factsheet.xhtml]Quanta Computer[/url]). Same quality control and everything. At least the operating system and most of the software was developed in America. [/QUOTE]
