Re: Hmm
Let's assume you are purchasing a new laptop and the vendors are, Dell, HP, Apple and Lenovo.
All three US companies can have their data grabbed by the US authorities. Assuming this is also the case for Lenovo and the Chineses authorities...
If you are really worried about the country of manufacture of a computer, you need to look at where those "US companies" actually get their kit made. Even the machines assembled in the US will have components made elsewhere ... and most things seem to come from PRC these days.
