Why Google Built the Nexus Q in the USA

[blazorthon]

Nothing personal against Asia, but I think that it's nice that at least something is being done in the USA and the price doesn't seem to be nearly as high as people have said that it would be if the USA was involved in the manufacturing and/or assembly.

Well, i don't know how long ago you're talking about, but for at least 14 years out of my 19 i don't remember seeing anything except "made in China", "made in India" or "made in UK" 😛

if it was built in chine the product would cost about 100 dollars to make and would sell for about 200

No, it wouldn't.

yes it would....why do you think companies can afford to mark their products down (SALES EVENT) and still make a profit?

Oh? How about proof for your numbers? You're just guessing, aren't you? Heck, you probably can't even provide information to base your claims other than opinions and other crap like that. I guarantee you that if Google wanted to price it at $300, then chances are that they would have done so even if it was completely made in Asia. All it would have meant would have been higher profit margins and even then, from the looks of it, the whole point behind building it in the USA was because in this situation, it was cheaper to do it here than to fly their engineers out to Asia to do their work there. Did you even read the articles about this?

do you think $300 is cheap for a speaker?....i don't think so...i am sure that they are making a killing off this POS

[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]do you think $300 is cheap for a speaker?....i don't think so...i am sure that they are making a killing off this POS[/citation]

It's more than just a speaker. Calling it a speaker is no more accurate than calling a video card a GPU. Furthermore, like I said, your numbers were purely your opinions without any backing at all if your comment here is to be your answer to what I said. No offense intended, but you're here posts were incorrect, misleading, and obviously not researched.

Whether or not a killing is being made off of these and whether or not $300 is cheap for a speaker makes no difference and has no impact on what I said.
