That’s fine, you’re all ok with American made laptops, right?

Do those exist? And what about all the internal components?

I believe the internals are all made from freedomite and it’s all a brand new design.

They're state of the art, made from the finest balsa wood!

Just like russian laptops. Except instead of being built like a tank they are built from toilet paper.

I'm actually happy about no Chinese goods. It's probably the only thing I kinda agree with about Trump

Not just Chinese goods, but Chinese components. That cost will be passed on to the consumer. There are A LOT of things that aren’t made at all in the US. If you thought cost of living was high under Biden…

No. I'm absolutely sure that this was absolutely wreck the economy. However US manufacturing would finally be independent. I'm interested in this terrible experiment.

With how efforts have been going with getting US based semiconductor foundries up and attempts to replicate the quality and efficiency of TSMC, I think my old i7 920 will find decent value on the secondary market when the tariffs hit.
