Yeah they ship "parts" to Mexico. 1 laptop frame unfinished 1 laptop battery.

Finish and Assemble them by cutting out one small section of waste aluminum off the frame and then putting the battery in.

Ship to the us.

"Manufactured in Mexico"

I commented on this myself earlier. Doing the extra shipping and bare legal minimum to count as a transformative step to create a new product in some other country will increase the cost of the good relative to where it is today, so there's still an impact, but for virtually all products, it's going to be far less than the 145% increase that tariffs would impose on a directly-shipped-from-China product.
