  1. Re:local Consumption ? by cowbutt · · Score: 1 · on China to Be Laptop Leader
    Expecting the label to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is naive.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-214 which I know is essentially the Compal ACL-00. The label says "Assembled in Europe" (Germany, I think), but that implies manufactured elsewhere, probably China or Taiwan.

    In the UK it's common practice for consumer electronics to be assembled here, typically by factories funded significantly by government "regional (re)development" grants. Doing so allows goods to be considered as "made in the EU" and thereby avoid import tariffs based on the price of the finished product.
