I don’t believe there are any laptops that are not made in China . My Ma sent my daughter a birthday card ( American Greetings ) the other day and it was made in China .

I’ve heard good thinga about Falcon-Northwest, but their products are considerably more expensive than your preferred price-range.

Even if you found a laptop that was not “made in China”, the parts probably will have been. I use Dell but I would never recommend them.

I’ve honestly never seen a laptop not made in China, but I always had good luck with HP laptops.
Sam’s Club has an HP laptop online for $480 (if you’re a member) and it has 6gb of memory and a 1 Terabyte (1000 GB) HD.

If you want a laptop not made in China, you'll need to make it yourself (with all Chinese parts). Seriously.

It's almost funny you even asked.

Lenovo is going to start building PCs in North Carolina later this year.

Let’s give credit where it’s due. The UNIONS have, again, successfully sent work outside of this country. Gotta love them.

All include hardware components that are made in China.

Buy Lenovo - their quality build is top notch. Go for a Thinkpad and you’re thinking IBM which made it world famous. You can’t go wrong with their laptops and the price is quite reasonable for what you get since IBM sold off its computing division several years ago.

Some American Companies are Dell, HP and Gateway, but at least some components will be Chinese regardless of who you deal with.

Current laptop used at work is a HP and works great thus far after 1.5 yrs. Since china makes all our stuff now I’ll ignore your “not made in china” stipulation. :-)

There are 27,000 laptops for sale on Ebay.

Take your pick and don't bid high.

If you miss one, another identical will be about a half hour behind

You might have to buy expensive, high-end laptops from Fujitsu, which I believe are made in Japan.

Ha... and if a laptop was 100% made in the USA, you could bet it would not sell in the range of $400-700.

The only notebooks that are not made in China are the older ones that you can only find in pawnshops.

Check Fujitsu. Bought one not long ago for the girlfriend and it’s a BEAST....and a very affordable price. I now understand why she loved her old Fujitsu so much....
