Some New iMacs Are Assembled in the USA

Dude I said if I was offered the option to support my own county to buy goods made in my country I would pay more for that. It's my county. Yes it's self centric I want to support my country and economy more then China as I am not Chinese. This is normal you are just looking for reasons to hate Americans. There may be many but my desire to support my own economy in the country I live in is not one of them. Sorry your point is a complete fail and so is your biased hate.

I think not. Would you say "Assembled in the China", or "Assembled in the Mexico"?

No, that's because the names China and Mexico are single entities. USA stands for United States of America. So you'd say: Made in the United States of America. Not: Made in United States of America. The latter could refer to ANY United States of America, but the former refers specifically to THE United States of America, which is what the U.S is 🙂

Right, but how many of the components would actually be made in the US? Intel chips are made in Malaysia, and mostly every other kind of computer component is made in China or Taiwan. Maybe Apple builds the PCBs here, but I wonder if that is enough to claim its "Assembled in USA"

Is it really racist to have an opinion based on real world trends?

It could also be the aluminium case, glass, and various internals like the cooling system and speakers. The fact that the new iMac is made with some new complicated manufacturing processes like the glass laminated to the screen and the chin being friction stir welded may also count as being a more substantial assembly than just screwing parts together.

So the only thing that happens in the USA is that those build to order imacs get their custom picked ram/ssd placed in and the screen gets glued on.

Great news. Now if everyone, everywhere did this the recession would be over, we would all be so much happier and politicians could just ...well we know what they can do.
