Not everything with a foreign brand name is built overseas. Just like not everything with a domestic brand name is built here. The auto industry is a great example of this.

The processor is indeed Intel, but intel has fabrication and assembly plants the world over, including denmark, costa rica, china, the phillipines, malaysia, ireland, israel... It may not necessarily have happened in the US. I'm not about to pull apart my lappy to check the manufacture code on it to confirm that, however.
And my Toyota was assembled in Canada. I know, I visited the plant where it was made (it's in Cambridge, Ontario FYI). I was fully aware of its point of origin. Many of the parts that go in there are forged in the US, many of them using canadian steel. They also assemble Lexus at that particular plant. Hm... what's the plural of 'lexus'? Lexuses? Lexae? Lexii? Meh.
I did find something that was a little more obviously US in manufacture origin... my HP laserjet!
