Re: ASUS Notebook Manufacture Location
There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people - or so they say.... This isn't either, but rather a poll that shouldn't have been created without knowing some background first.... Asus is located in Taiwan and all chassis are made there. Some of the custom systems are then customized whereever you buy it, but techically "manufactured" in Taiwan. You can't create a poll when they are ALL made in Taiwan.......
With that said.... over 95% of all laptops on the face of the earth are MADE in Taiwan.

Re: ASUS Notebook Manufacture Location
Well, a lot of laptops I've seen made by Taiwanese companies are made in China.

Re: ASUS Notebook Manufacture Location
I believe I said 95%.... that leaves 5%...... but your question was Asus... and Asus' plants are in Taiwan.... it's something you can actually research....
EDIT
Actually.... it's as simple as this... you created a poll as if you already knew the answer and just wanted to see who had what, from where. When in fact you should have just asked where Asus made their systems. I know for a fact that most OEM's completely BS people in terms of "origin or manufacture" .... Sony says their computers are made in Japan and yet Asus' plant where they're made is in Taiwan.
Also..... companies like Toshibia for instance run all of their notebooks that go to the middle east through Germany. I have many Kuwaiti and Saudi friends who buy toshibia notebooks because they are told they are made in Germany and "german quality" is just eaten up and they'll pay through the nose for it. On the other hand, they wouldn't buy a thing from Taiwan. Technically it's "legal" to say the "country of manufacture" is actually the last place finally assembly occured.. so if we put a hard drive in a system and then pack it up and ship it - for custom' sake, we could be the country of manufacture..... but so could Taiwan and really they are.
If you look at a laptop as a bunch of pieces, those parts are certainly made in Taiwan..... some times we build up from lcd screens, motherboards, and chassis' and physically build a laptop from parts...... the manufacturing of the "laptop" could the person who assembled it.. or finished the assembly. You can really make it out to be whatever you want, but for you, you actually want to know where this stuff is made. For that, it's very simple and it's made in Taiwan. Taiwan is probably the best place on earth for them to do it also, so it's not exactly a bad word. I wouldn't want the Taiwanese to make my audi, but I wouldn't want the German's to make my notebook either.

Re: ASUS Notebook Manufacture Location
I couldn't find it on their website, so i decided to ask. Thanks though, it really helped my decision. Didn't want to buy something made in china. Never really liked things and their quality that came from china.
The only experience I've had was their recent motherboards, which started to be made in china. That's when I started to question whether I should get an ASUS Z70Va or not.

Answer:
Re: ASUS Notebook Manufacture Location
As a person from Taiwan, I appreciate the recognition of Taiwan's notebook quality, but people, you should know most Asus parts, including chasis, are made in China now, just QC by Taiwanese. Asus only has one plant left in Taiwan and should be closing soon (plan was 2005, but I think it's not completed yet).
Now don't worry too much about whether they are made in China or Taiwan. Like I said, they are all QC by Taiwanese, then and now. They will throw away the bad parts just like before. You really want to be picky with part, buy Japanese laptop -- the ones sold in Japan, not just Sony or Toshiba sold here -- their QC are the toughest customers all Taiwanese manufacturers have to face.
