Well, look at it this way. You have only two choices of maker if you want *any* of the money you spend on a laptop to stay in the US. If you buy from anyone but Dell or Apple (or Gateway, but who’s dumb enough to buy their crap???), all your money goes overseas. If you buy Dell or Apple, at least some of the money stays here and employs Americans.
If you buy Dell
The last time I bought Dells, the nice but incompetent lady from India and I got emotionally very close over a series of weeeks.
The SOB in Texas made me cry.
I buy American whenever possible, but not here.
Thank you though.
