      The laptops are manufactured in Taiwan. There’s so much unpredictability in the tariffs so they’re delaying until it settles down. Tariffs are going to impact US companies and US residents.

        O yes I don’t mean anything by it, just that it makes it extra weird you can pre-order anywhere but their home country

          That’s what happens when you make it expensive to import anything and don’t have any domestic manufacturing for computer components.

      Yes, but the products are manufactured and assembled in Taiwan, using a dedicated team for framework, and shipped to local warehouses across the world to sell and ship locally. They can easily decide to make, ship and sell the product across the globe but in the us. The ceo explained that they forsaw things like this when they started in 2019/2020 and therefore decided, back then, that they would take on this model to not fuck themselves incase trump would go haywire back then.

      That has now saved their arses tbh
