    Apologize for my stupid curiosity…Do you know how Alienwares are assembled? By hand or by robot (like car factory)? I’ve seen the Alienwares are produced in a China factory, are there some photos/videos over the web?

    It's a mixture of both like most modern electronics.

    It's a mixture of both, some parts are assembled manually and other with robots.

    The process involves both humans and machines, as does most anything these days. Certain parts are made by machines and assembled later by people in an assembly line of some sort. The specific Alienware production process differs a bit from the standard Dell machine (seen below) but it's very similar. The main difference is with transport, testing, labeling, packaging, and distribution. These final steps may change depending on the region of which the laptop/computer is anticipated to arrive.

    Hopefully this gives you a general idea of what the process is like. It starts in China and ends in Texas for most U.S. residents' orders (or your regional distribution center if you do not have NBD shipping).

    They have women building our PC's ?
    that's pretty awesome. How come we rarely see any in America that understand electronics or PC's even in general..

    misogynistic? I know here in Canada and also in Asia and parts of Europe there are as many women and sometimes more into the high tech fields including assembly or engineering.

    Your own question answers why they are not "seen".

    Not in America they don't. Women here can find higher-paying, less menial jobs.

    You either aren't looking hard enough or don't live in the right place. I live in the Silicon Valley. There's tons of women in IT here. But more often than not they're in management, admin, HR, accounting, QA, etc. rather than engineers. Not trying to be sexist or anything, but men and women generally have different interests and this affects their career choice as well.
