From the Office to Gaming: The Ultimate Guide to American-Made Computers
Are there any laptop & desktop computers made in the USA?
As with most electronics, finding a laptop or desktop computer that is entirely made in the USA is not a possibility. Countries in Asia are far more advanced than the United States in the manufacturing of electronic components.
The best we can do is buy computers from the companies that keep as much of their design, assembly, and product support in the United States as they are able.
The Big List of Computers, Laptops & Tablets Made in the USA
The Mac Pro for the North American market has been manufactured in Austin, Texas, USA since 2013. Components for the Mac Pro are manufactured in the USA and globally.
We believe deeply in the power of American innovation. That’s why every Apple product is designed and engineered in the US, and made up of parts from 36 states, supporting 450,000 jobs with US suppliers, and we’re going to continue growing here.
Tim Cook, Apple CEO (2019)
Lenovo ThinkCentre and ThinkPad
Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop computers and ThinkPad laptops are assembled in Whitsett, North Carolina, USA. Other Lenovo products are made in China and Mexico.
MSI is owned and headquartered in Taiwan with an assembly plant in California that services US customers. They manufacture laptops, desktops, monitors, graphics cards, and motherboards.
- Digital Storm: Digital Storm assembles high-performance gaming and workstation PCs in Gilroy, California, USA. Components are sourced domestically and globally. Digital Storm gives customers the option to have all made in the USA components when available. Regardless, Digital Storm does much of the custom design and finish work in the United States.
- Falcon Northwest: Falcon Northwest builds custom PCs with components largely sourced from abroad with the option to use US-manufactured parts when available. The custom PCs are designed, assembled, tested, and supported in Medford, Oregon, USA.
- Origin: Largely made up of foreign components, manufacturing, assembly, and support of Origin gaming and workstation laptops and desktop computers happens in Miami, Florida, USA.
- Velocity Micro: Velocity Micro specializes in high-performance gaming computers and pro workstations made in the USA. As expected, Velocity Micro has no choice but to source its components globally. Managing director Josh Covington told PC Magazine that making the computers in the United States allows Velocity Micro to focus on quality assurance that wouldn’t be possible if it was outsourced to foreign manufacturing.

I’m Looking for a CD player made in America, if nothing new is available, I’ll consider used.
Hi Arlene
Unfortunately CD players are an electronic and we’ve been unable to find any currently produced CD players made in the USA.
Unicomp brand keyboards are made in USA
X-keys L-Trac Red Trackball might be made in USA still, they were when they went under the ‘Clearly Superior’ brand
Makes you wonder why we haven’t dedicated ourselves to becoming more self sufficient. I get that it’s good to have global markets, but when you have foreign nations making out medicine and vaccinations, especially ones that doesn’t even like us, then what are we waiting for? Oh, right we’re not, just like the electronics. Make’em low and sell’em high…..
So I was curious because I was talking about how I think global trade is a good thing and that even businesses whose products are “made In the USA” also get a lot of their parts from other countries. Someone told me, “just by American”, and that would be fine with me, but one problem….THE SELECTION SUCKS. Global trade is a good thing. Countries helping each other out and helping each other prosper. I don’t mind buying American, but I also want more choices when it comes to the stuff I like to buy.
