Low value of U.S. dollar = More investment in American manufacturing

routinely putting parts together isn't what i'd call a tech job, regardless of what the parts are. looks like dell wants to look like it cares for the american people

 

[Steve]

Will they have American tech support? 😀

You're right. Suicide. Dell will be sunk because of this plant. Their world leading sales can't hope to compensate for this facility. Goodbye Dell.

Sweet, now a bunch of out of work software engineers can get work for $7.50 an hour assembling computers! 😉

It obviously is .. otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Dell is a pretty smart company, overall. I don't see them doing something incredibly stupid.

Dell would also have to dedicate teams to design servers and PCs to accommodate AMD-based computers, which adds complexity and costs. AMD cannot produce chips in the same volume as Intel, Rollins said.

O whatever, go AMD!!!

[Garuda]

You people have been listening to too many BS stories in the media about the death of manufacturing in America.

I don't know anything about what is involved in Dell's decision, but if it isn't all about finances, then I applaud a company for actually doing something for communities rather than the bottom dollar. More $$ != right.

It's going to be Mexican illegals and H1-B Indians assembling a computer made out of Taiwanese parts in America.😛

Even if the money goes to "non-americans", which itself is debateable, most of the money that they earn will stay in the US economy.

and dell isnt stupid, they wouldnt do this unless it made cents
