Designed By Apple In California
Assembled in USA
Its coming. Apple has made a ground breaking decision to start producing computers once again in the USA. The California based company is currently investing $100 million to shift production of the iMac from China to the United States. Already some iMacs are being shipped that bear the label “Assembled in USA”. Production is still ramping up, however, and many iMacs are still assembled overseas. Speaking with an Apple employee in one of their stores or on the phone is the best way to get one of the American models. Make your voice heard. The more demand Apple hears for American made computers, the more they will continue down this path.

Unfortunately Systemax has discontinued its computer line. They did not outsource production to another country, they simply shut down their manufacturing operations altogether. The market for desktop PCs has declined greatly, which likely factored heavily in their decision. Systemax is still in business, however, and will continue their American based technical support for those of you who did get a chance to buy one of their American made computers.
This should not be considered a complete list of American computer companies. We are adding companies as we find them and as time allows.
Keep in mind that no computer can be made of 100% American parts. Computers are made of a diverse amount of components made in countries all over the world. In fact no computer can be 100% made in any country. Computers made in China are made up of foreign and American parts too. Hard drives, processors, RAM, motherboards and many other components are made throughout the world. Some individual components are made in factories in several different countries. Because of the diversity of the supplier chain, no computer is made of parts from just one country. But when you are buying an American computer, you are supporting American assembly jobs, and also providing a cost advantage for domestic suppliers of computer components.
