    Numberless Millennials and Post-Millenials don’t like quality. They prefer cheap.

    I do not think there are any main computer parts made in the US, and have not been for decades.

    Way back in the early 1990's, I used to build several different models of computers. One of them featured a motherboard made by a company called Beaver, based out of Oregon. My aunt even worked for them in their Medford office.

    They folded decades ago. Most people shop by price, not where a computer or the parts are made. And if a motherboard from a US company costs 15% more, most will choose the import. Then they complain a decade later that everything comes from China.

    Kinda like how nobody realized what they did to Quasar, Zenith, RCA, Curtis-Mathes, Magnavox, Motorola, Sylvania, etc, etc, etc. They kept going to cheaper products that were imported, and eventually no TVs were made in the US. I bet most people never realized the last American TV company was bought out over 20 years ago.

    False advertising!! The sticker should say "ASSEMBLED in the USA".

    Actually, into the mid 1990's, a lot of the parts in your computers still came from US sources.

    Memory, CPUs, keyboards, mice, monitors, even the cases. Back then only a few components were generally imported.

    It is very different today.
