Where are Macbooks made?

Sorry if this might sound like a dumb question. I just ordered a new Macbook and just wondering where they are made? Thanks!!! By the way this will be my first Apple.. I hope I dont have the random shutdown issue...

That's pretty pessemistic, isn't it? It is my understanding that the RSD problem is the minority of the machines coming out.

they're made in cupertino california wich is where
the apple head quarters is, it's outside of San
Francisco. And you probably will have the shutting
down problem

Yes, I understand its the Suzhou facility that builds for them. But Suzhou also builds for other manufacturers, too. Its the designers in Cupertino that must accept the accolades - and plenty of brickbats - for the MacBook.

Give factory workers (whom you're probably paying about .25 an hour, if the recent iPod living/working conditions debacle is anything to go by) a badly designed device and you get back what you pay for.

Sadly, the consumer doesn't enjoy that discount - paying a considerable premium for an Apple product, with little beyond the OS to show for it.

I don't know what the workers are paid etc... but I'm pretty happy with my MacBook. I have no problems with the way it runs or the way it looks, fit, finish everything is perfect on mine. I don't think the price was unreasonable either, actually almost the same as comparable notebooks with the same features. And considering I could run windows along with OSX if I wanted too it seems to be a bargin. Oh and to stay on topic my MacBook was made in China, if you just ordered one from Apple you can follow the fedex tracking it usually starts out in China.
