Makes me wonder where in the US they were assembled, and what parts were actually of US origin. I do remember in the mid-90s when some of the 755's and 701's were also made in Scotland, and IBM even had tech support in neighboring Ireland for a short while (before going to Toronto and RTP).

I've just sold a T61 (dated October of 2008) which was "assembled in Mexico of U.S. and non-U.S. components for Lenovo". My X61T bears the same statement on the bottom, build date September of the same year. Furthermore, I've seen and owned (still have 3) a bunch of Lenovo-era units that were "assembled in the U.S. of U.S. and non-U.S. components for Lenovo"... And the beat goes on...
