Correct. Their products are made in Taiwan. However, the Vizio TVs I've seen are rather nice looking, and this new line of laptops and PCs are very sleek indeed. It's a Windows based PC with style on par with Apple. Hopefully they sell well. Even though the products aren't made here, it's still making sure 400+ people work here in the United States, and that's a step in the right direction I suppose. I mean, in all honesty, they wouldn't be able to afford American manufacturing costs with the market they entered and the price point they entered in.

Can't steal discount Walmart price segment if you're paying me $25+ an hour biggrin.gif

I didn't say things that weren't made in america were garbage. In fact I haven't bought anything made in USA in awhile except my Rickenbacker 4003

IPS displays arent THAT expensive to manufacture. Its just these companies are good at marketing to suckers like us who think IPS displays = godlike. Just because something is good doesnt mean its expensive.


But don't tell that to apple.




ALSO some guy said that apple started the aluminum trend.. No that was IBM in about 1993 when the THINKPAD was made out of aluminum tyvm.

Technically at that point it wasn't a TREND. Apple may have "started" the trend, that doesn't mean they were the first to do it. They just helped popularize it.
