- Palmer Lucky has asked: Will you buy ‘Made in America’ laptop from your firm Enduril for 20% more than MacBook?
- The results of that pole on x currently show about two-thirds of the respondents
- How can such a notebook be felt at this cost level, however, is far from clear – and here are many questions mark
Will you buy a laptop that was completely made in the US if the apple in China costs 20% more than the notebook?
Tom’s hardware report It is a question that Palmer Lucky poses on X (and elsewhere, such as the Rindustrical Summit), complete with a survey to test the water.
Will you buy a Made in America Computer for 20% more than Chinese-made options from Apple?July 20, 2025
If you are scratching around the corners of your brain, trying to remember what was famous in the world of Luki technology, it was definitely, the creation of the Okulus rift – although his company was eventually swallowed by Facebook.
Since then, Lucky has been dubbing some things including crypto and military tech, of which the latter is the enduril industry mentioned in the above posts. So, looking at the pole, how many people on X would buy ‘Made in America Computer in America’, if it (possibly equally equivalent imagination) was the fifth higher value than MacBook?
At the time of writing, with about 77,000 votes recorded on X, about two-thirds of respondents (63.5%) will purchase such enduril laptops.
This response was not quite enthusiastic at the aforesaid Rendustrialize Summit, also posted on X based on the clip below (where luckey is apparently speaking through a robot, yes, don’t ask).
Here is the moment where @PalmerLucKey interrupted @ashleevance to ask in Rendustrialize: “How many people in the audience would buy an American -made computer if it was 20% more expensive?” His thinking has a great distillation on the full clip occasion. pic.twitter.com/77QSVBJ52DJuly 20, 2025
However, commentators claim that the rough count of the raised hands was underestimated (as It was difficult for the audience to see Due to shining spotlights on the stage, which makes sense to be fair). According to the report, it was believed over half On the side, which aligns more closely with luckey pole results.
Analysis: A laptop to rule us?
As Tom’s hardware states, there is a significant difference here. Luckey talks about a laptop ‘med’ in the US, and it is very different from a notebook that is only ‘assembled’ in the US – with components such as major chips coming from other places (like China).
Our sister site indicates the definition of ‘Made in USA’ put forward by FTC, and does not have a factory assembly in the US, but also “almost all components are created and sour in the United States”.
This may be different in the future, but at this point, it is unlikely that Enduril may source a completely American-made components for potential laptops. In fact, it seems highly impossible that it can be felt with only 20% value increase what apple charges. (With highly leveraged deals with the McBook maker’s Asian supply chain, certainly-will now have to compete with effectively sophisticated M-Series Silicon Apple to not mention any opponents.
On one side, the second bone of the controversy on the X is that this imaginary laptop will run through an operating system – Windows or Linux? Frankly, with this idea there are lots of elements in the air right now, and a lot of questions – although there is clearly some basic level of desire for such a product in the US.
Will it force Lukki to tell more about how he can achieve this achievement? Or is this vague laptop concept just a bit of media propagation? As mentioned, there are definitely more questions than the answer, and it will definitely be interesting to see if something and will be upcoming in the later context.
What Luke has done recently (X) has returned to the ‘Sinix’, criticizing the idea, “The current American tariff -run and some cross between political opportunism from Nak”,, Publish: “Don’t remember this point. This problem moves the administration. Themselves and others have said so for years.”
