The US has placed embargo’s on a lot of Chinese OEM’s forcing US products to be sourced from more expensive alternates. Apparently the current administration has a problem with Chinese prison labor.My brother in law bought an Alienware in Canada about 2 weeks ago, 10900kf/32GB ram/3800. I checked the same rig in the US and it was priced at the same price even though 1 USD is about 1.3 CAD. It seems that there are some unique US supply issues.
