“You ARE an idiot. Here YOU are the one playing the insult card. . . The call Apple users “worshippers” and “bigot” card. Find an American made computer, VanDeKoik. . . Guess what? It’s the Apple MacPro, manufactured in Austin, Texas.”

Ooooooh wow! I’m glad you pointed out Apple’s most popular and highest selling device as your go-to example. Apple certainly took a gamble moving the bulk of their product line from China here. /s Maybe you will bra about how all of Apple’s print ads are made in the U.S. too?

The damn thing isnt even fabricated over here. But Apple tosses you a PR crumb and you roll with it.

“The damn thing isnt even fabricated over here. But Apple tosses you a PR crumb and you roll with it.”

I was thinking the same. Why now, after proclaiming for years the superiority of Chinese factories, would Apple build a factory in Texas? Why just a few years ago Saint Steve said it was impossible.

Visit an Apple factory in China? No need, we have one here. Just drop in at the Austin plant anytime, the Chinese plants are identical, just bigger. And, ya know, Chinese. And covered in suicide nets. But the suicide nets were designed right here in the USA!

WOW! I can't believe in your bile, hate, and rush to attempt to discredit me you stoop so low as to have said that. Do you prefer to lie, or does it just come naturally? Is it your first inclination? Do you just automatically believe anything Apple claims is untrue? If se, VanDeKoik, your Apple Derangement Syndrome (ADS) is showing. You seem to be foaming at the mouth.

Let's see just how truthful your claim "The damn thing isnt even fabricated over here. . ." is, shall we?

Well, let's see. Here's some photos germane to the issue:

Tim Cook seems to think its manufactured in Austin, Texas.

"Assembled in USA" is laser engraved on the Apple MacPro

Here's a YouTube of the entire process. . .

Wow! Did you notice all the Chinese workers. . . Oh, wait. . . they're not Chinese, they're Texans! Oops! So much for the VanDeKoik claim!

The MacPro IS fabricated in Austin, Texas, USA, yet you baldly claim "The damn thing isnt even fabricated over here. But Apple tosses you a PR crumb and you roll with it." You obviously make it up as you go. . . and think Freepers will give you a pass? That's a Democrat/Liberal/Alinsky technique.

By-the-way, the MacPro is not the only Apple computer being made quietly in the USA. 9-to-5-Mac found that Apple had started shipping iMacs with these markings last year:

Note where the computer was made.

Stop trying to create your own facts! Game, Set, Match! You lose, VanDeKoik.

Apple “Made in the USA” Mac Pro Launched
High-end computer features all U.S.A. components

If you google american made computers you won’t find much at all, except Apple. Lenovo, the Chinese company, is starting to build here in the U.S.A. but largely with chinese components.

Apple didn’t make a gamble building in Austin. Austin is hot with technology. My daughter lives there, and her husband is an inventor. Why did they move there? Lots of incentives. Apple iPhone chips have been made there for years. Every time I visit my daughter I see the manufacturing plants that Apple and others have built. Try not to be so anti-American, and congratulate these American companies for building here, as do many of us who support American goods.
