The buy American mantra when it comes to laptops...

There has been quite a bit of discussion related to why you should buy American when it comes to a car, yet there is very little discussion ever about buying other items made in America. Let's take computers as an example, if you are looking for laptop deals the reality is it is almost impossible to find a laptop that is made in the US or even contains a majority of parts made in the US.

In 2006 it was reported that factories in or near Shanghai make nearly 83 percent of the world’s portable computers, and that figure is expected to increase within a couple of years. It was predicted that by 2008 90% of all laptops would be made in China. When you try to google "Laptops made in US" you don't get very far, so I wasn't able to easily discover if there even are any laptops that are made in the US anymore all that you can easily find is laptop cases advertised as made in the US...
