Is it Quanta? Or Compal? Or some other company I've never heard of?

The manufacturer for Dell parts is everybody. They get parts from Quanta, LG, Foxconn, Intel, etc... and they assemble it all.

For their laptops, if you are referring to their original design manufacturers, then you're right. As of late it has been Compal and Quanta. They've also used Mitac in the past but Mitac's been sinking for past several years.





I'd have to do some heavy digging, but I forgot which one(either Compal or Quanta), I want to say it was Compal made their last generation latitude D series.



As of now, I believe they do actually make their own latitude chassis's, in-house plants: Poland(formally Ireland), Malaysia(?). What others have posted is of course right too, but it applies to components of course.

depends on the model and contracts always change. A few years ago, some models were based on Samsung notebooks. As of 2009, Compal is still being used for the manufacturing of HP and Dell notebooks among others.
