Mac mini being shipped from China???

[shadowguy]

Yeah, my Mac mini has just been shipped..FROM CHINA!!! Whats the deal?
My DVI to video adapter came from pensylvania in 1 day, but now it is taking almost a week to get the mini from China. I was hoping Apple would not be one of those companies that has outsourced overseas. But I guess I was stupid for hoping.

Just about everything Apple sells is now made in China.

It's designed in California by Apple.

Just about everything that everyone makes is made in China and if they are smart designed elsewhere.

Designers = Professionals = Decent pay = Live in LA, NY, London etc.

Built by = Whoever's cheapest = As little as the vendor can get away with = China

Aren't most things made in China or the far east?

You read your Apple packaging far too closely.



But then again, so do I...
