Not any more.

You're thinking of Dell's support. They've moved that overseas. They
still build the computers in or near the country they sell them. Note
that support is almost all labor.

Dell computers are made offshore (including the ones customized just for
you). They bring them in large cargo containers and then the cargo
company opens the container and ships the individual units that are
already boxed for shipment.
