is there's any laptops Made in USA ?

[Desert JATO]

hi guys .. i need your advise here since i'm going to buy a laptop
for my brother from the usa
so is there's any brand Made in USA ?

i'm sure that those made or sold for us customers are much better in quality
the latest dell's models are so bad.. one look to it's keyboard will give you the answer : Not to buy me. it's paint almost going to fade before any use

i'm thinking of a lenovo or a dell.
i wish to know if there's any USA made products.
any advise are most welcome & appreciated

I'm pretty sure Lenovo is made in China.

After all, it was IBM until a few years ago and those were certainly made in China.

Not to mention the fact that Lenovo is.. ahem.. Chinese.

Dell might be your best bet if you're insisting it's made in the US. Even if it's manufacturing origin isn't in the US, you're still supporting an American company.
... and my local community. Round Rock is ten minutes north of me.
And the Dell financial group is a bike ride away.

[Desert JATO]

so if it's only Dell that is made or assembled in the u.s ... any recommended website ?
i need help here, if anyone would it's appreciated.

I'm pretty sure Dell does not mfr laptops in the U.S. and haven't for some time now...

In fact I don't think any major brand mfr's laptops in the U.S. at all.....

I love my ASUS. A lot of electronic technology come from Asia, why not buy electronics made there?

[Slasher]

Wouldn't you buy "made in the USA" if you could?

[TheCrazyBuckeye]

I can't think of any electronic device that is made in the U.S. Its a shame how everything is exported now. Remember when everything in Wal-Mart was made in the U.S?

[aussiek2000]

If it was the same price and equal or better quality.

yeah that's when sam walton ran it. i watced that documentary on wal mart and man it made me pay attention to what they stock. There are only a few things made in the US if anything at all. I think they only thing close to the states is Gateway. if i'm not mistaken , they're made in Canada

Getting a laptop entirely made in the USA is not likely to happen. You can get a laptop custom built by many electronics stores but the parts they use will not necessarily be made in the USA. Some parts from USA, some from China, some from Mexico; who knows? I'm sure many things that say "made in the USA" still use some foreign parts.

personally i'd go for a panasonic...very good computers, and rugged as well, but they are pretty expensive...in fact our armed forces use them in the field...

other choices i would recommend would be an asus laptop (they all seem to have really nice specs), or a toshiba, even some of the sony ones are nice...

also as many have mentioned not to many electronic devices are even made in the U.S. anymore...and these days it seems that all the best electronic devices either come from japan, china, taiwan, or korea...

beleive me aissiek2000, those things made in Asia and exported to EU or USA
ar far better in quality than those eported to the ME countreies..
they send their best to the usa to make sure that they'll not banned from
distrobuting their stuff at North america in the future.

Wouldn't you buy "made in the USA" if you could?

hmmm.. i couldn't understand your point ? i'm welling to buy it from the usa
because it's better than those sold here.

toshiba & the new releases of vaio became rubbish ... same as hp
before few years Dell, Sony, Toshiba, & hp were sending here top of their best.. it looks now that they're building recycled of everything.

Desert Jato, my post was directed at Aussiek who had previously inquired why it matters, to you, where the computer comes from.

[Nitronaught]

Any Circuit boards, power supplies, semiconductors, are all made overseas. Not in the U.S.

Like I said, from my knowledge there isn't a name brand laptop mfr'd in the U.S.

I have 6 Lenovo's with 2 gig RAM Win XP Pro, Dual Layer DVD, 15" display, SD memeory card slot, 160 gig drive, 1 PCMCIA slot, Wireless G netowork and 10/100 MBPS Wired network port, a 1394 port and 4 USB slots. Using the Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 and an Intel 965 Express SVGA adapter.

I picked them up New in the Box for $680.00 a few months ago. Not one complaint from any of the users, me being one of them.

[Slasher]

NitroNaught, your first sentence isn't entirely accurate. I work in a semiconductor cleanroom here in Texas. There are other semiconductor companies here, too.

Why don't you look at some other brands? The ASUS G50, F8, and N80 series of laptop of some of the best made.

hey macbooks are good for $1000, if you go to the on apple store, it has 2 ghz processor (may not sound like much but is the updated chip architecture) 2 gb ram, 120 gb hd and a graphics card with 256 mb. if you're looking for a windows machine, you should hold out for a windows 7 machine

[aussiek2000]

Anything that has vista can run 7.

[Slasher]

Windows 7 is getting a lot of good pre/reviews on the web.

You may work for the largest chip maker in the world, but most semicondictors and circuit boards are made overseas. Sorry, should not have said all.

But most semiconductors and circuit boards are made overseas in the Phillipines, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc. Most R&D of semicondictors are here in the U.S.

[Jason_garrison]

If it was the same price and equal or better quality.

I remember when people were actually willing to spend a little more to get something made in America. Its a shame those days are gone, we wouldnt be in nearly the finanical mess our country is in, that is for sure.
