Where was your MacBook Pro M5/M5 Pro/M5 Max manufactured?

[AdmiralKirk]

I’ve just taken delivery of a new MacBook Pro M5 Pro 18/20 64gb ram 2TB storage NTD, and I was really hoping it was from China and got lucky that it was.

I’ve also had good Apple products from Vietnam. My APP3 was also manufactured there.

I was worried about getting one from India because their manufacturing set ups are far newer and there have been difficulties getting them up to speed from what I’ve read online, so more chance of getting a defect I think?

So just curious where everyone else’s Macbook Pro’s were manufactured, and whether you had a good experience or whether you had any kind of manufacturing defect?

I got a M5 Pro Max 2 days ago, it was built in Vietnam. Everything was perfect physically, and it's running great!

My 14” M5 Max is a “Product of Vietnam”.

I am curious as to why that you hoped that your new MBP Pro was manufactured in China. Have there been issues with similar units produced in other countries? Congratulations on your new MBP purchase. I am envious of your configuration.

Foxconn thought India can take over cantankerous China but it turns out Chinese workers adapt faster and more malleable, not to mention better supply chain.

I'm thinking mine was made in Vietnam, since that's where it shipped from?

Vietnam ---> China ---> US

But...I haven't really had it long enough to discover any defects. It only arrived last week.

Now, though, I'm wondering what paces I can put it through to "test" how well it might hold up.

I do see a tiny, pinhead-sized black mark on the silver finish--I'm assuming it's a chip in the paint--but it's something I can live with and it's not glaringly obvious.

Country of origin is printed on the bottom cover of the laptop, just before the serial number. It is also printed on the box.
