i believe ASUSi believe ASUSI like Toshiba laptops, but don’t know where they are made.
Made in China .
I got an ASUS after being fed up of HP indian call centers and HP breakin down.
I could not want anything better than I have now, love Asus, I get to call Amercia and speak with English speaking people, who are helpful and polite.
Got my oldest boy a ASUS tablet and he loves that too, plus they;re quite cheap compared to other makers.
ALL laptops except Panasonic laptops are made in either China or Taiwan. I believe the Panasonics are still made in Japan, but they start at about $1,500. However, they are very, very good laptops. I personally own a Panasonic CF-53 Toughbook with Windows 7 Pro x64, upgraded with 8GB RAM and a 750GB 7200RPM Hitachi hard drive.
If you don’t have that kind of dough, try a Latitude E5x30 with Windows 7 Pro x64. You can pick up bargains at dell.com/outlet. All the Dell factory refurbs have the exact same warranty as a brand new machine.
Whatever you do, don’t buy Windows 8. You’ll hate yourself if you do and truly regret wasting your money.
