There was article written by their former marketing director or something stating that the CPU, GPU and stuff are still sourced from China, and other places as well. They hide it from you. So like it's an eye-watering price for old specs and doesn't really deliver what it says it does.

Obviously the CPU and GPU are made in China. You'd have to be an idiot to believe they were made in the US.
