And yet, no MacBook quality LinBooks.

It's way more realistic since... They do in fact make the macbooks already...

I think that is even more realistic than US produced MacBooks.

What's so funny about that ? You do realize actual macbooks are already made in china, right ?

If you need a replacement digital screen (or other parts), you'll find genuine parts on AliExpress/AliBaba that were made by the same factories, just were spares. Once last-gen iPhones or HP laptops stop being manufactured the excess has to be sold somewhere.

I don't want macbook-build quality anything.
It's like buying an extremely expensive prop that was only meant to be used in movies and breaks if it's used for anything else for a substantial amount of time.

I can't wait for the Macbook-build quality Linux laptops that are going to come out of China now.

This is going to be a *lot* easier for the Chinese consumer than the American one. They will start to really feel it in a couple months.

That’s easy because everything is made there anyway.

Can someone with more knowledge suggest what I should preemptively buy right now before the prices increase?
