My goodness that boy can make a lot of noise about nothing, can't he? He seems to think that because some small percentage of the MacPro may be (horrors) imported, before being assembled into the 100% US made chassis, frame, and power system, and having the American made extruded aluminum and machined case! after having a 100% American made high-end processor inserted into the logic board, that it is NOT "fabricated", "manufactured", "made", or "assembled" in the United States of America? Even many of the sub-components in the Apple MacPro are "Manufactured in eleven other US states," before the final product, the new Apple MacPro is "assembled" at Apple's Austin, Texas, USA, Assembly facility. . . but Leonard would have you believe it isn't in the USA. . . or it really isn't "assembled" . . . or that doesn't mean "made," . . . or it doesn't mean "fabricated" . . . Well, it means he has to be RIGHT!
The following is the disclaimer posted on the linked site Leonard210 provided:
Keep in mind that no computer can be made of 100% American parts. Computers are made of a diverse amount of components made in countries all over the world. In fact no computer can be 100% made in any country. Computers made in China are made up of foreign and American parts too. Hard drives, processors, RAM, motherboards and many other components are made throughout the world. Some individual components are made in factories in several different countries. Because of the diversity of the supplier chain, no computer is made of parts from just one country. But when you are buying an American computer, you are supporting American assembly jobs, and also providing a cost advantage for domestic suppliers of computer components.
There are times that you seem lucid but they are becoming fewer and fewer.
Apple didn’t laser etch Manufactured in USA or Fabricated in USA on the Mac Pro because it’s too close to “Made in USA” which has a specific definition under Federal Trade Commission guidelines. Maybe one day Apple will be able to laser etch “Made in USA” on some of their computers but today isn’t that day.
I’m thrilled that Apple is doing some stuff that Saint Steve told Barack Obama couldn’t be done. Saint Timothy seems to be a much better CEO than Steve Jobs ever was (and has a load of crap to clean up for him). Sure he’s the Paul Lynde of the computer industry and a flaming climate change fascist, but somehow he’s been able to perform more miracles than Saint Steven of Cupertino. Good on him!
Roadcat posted a lie from another website and you don’t have the character to be honest about it. He didn’t compound it with juvenile insults and invective, however. The fact that you went all John Wayne Gacy on yet another FReeper is a credit to the mods who’ve remained patient with your whiny outbursts for all these years.
So according to Leonard210 and VanDeKoik logic, there are no personal computers made in China! In fact, there are no personal computers made in any country anywhere in the world. Smart, not. Absurd, yes. But that's the thought processes of these anti-Americans who jump on anyone factually reporting on an American company. They love their Chinese and Korean companies, otherwise they would report fairly.
More lunatic ravings from the troublemaker. He just won't give it up. According to his logic, no computers are made anywhere in any country! But he's quick to defend foreign companies. Truly anti-American in his statements.
