[quote]Nor does the USA. China also has a lower crime rate and fewer murders a year. If you consider the right to live a human right, perhaps China's human rights record is a bit better than ours?<hr></blockquote>

Yeah, compare the top-end printers bottom-end printers. Good idea.
And despite being part of the Commonwealth, Malaysia has an abominable human rights record compared with China. Why don't you search Google for "slave labor" and Malaysia? Heck, slave labor in Malaysia was even part of the Zoolander movie plot.
Actually, I was comparing the $99 HP 920 to the $199 HP 960, which is hardly top of the line. As for human rights record, that wasn't my issue it was someone elses.
However, when you mention the lower murder rate in China making it a safer place to live, I'd rather take my chances with the occasional thug than have my government be the one doing the beating and killing. I would think most people would.............................
They make power adapters in China. PowerBooks are assembled in Taiwan. So are the iMacs AFAIK. Where a product comes from has no relevance to me as long as the quality is there. It's not like you're buying food and it's different depending on what country you buy from. These are computers assembled in extremely standardized factories. Frankly, at the price point Macs sell for, no matter where they are made they will probably be good quality.
What WOULD concern me is a Made in China Dual 1 GHz G4 tower selling for $500 with 17" flatscreen CRT display. At a lower price something has to be sacrificed, either features or quality. It hasn't happened. I'm not worried.
