    ASUS is a Taiwan-based company, though according to Wikipedia they have manufacturing plants in both Taiwan and mainland China. Notebooks could probably come from either area.

    Indeed, not only that, a high percentage, about 70+% of all laptops are made in Taiwan.

    Compal, ASUS, MSI, Quanta, etc. are all large Taiwanese companies.

    The best indeed. Its build quality is noticeably the best.
