My 701 has been EasyServed (however it's spelled) once, and says
"Assembled in the U.S.A. of U.S.A. and non-U.S.A. components". I didn't
check to see what it had said before I'd sent it in. There's a
red-on-white Industry Canada/Industrie Canada sticker on the bottom of my
701, but I'm not sure that that signifies a majority-made-in-Canada
product; my PCMCIA modem (TDK DF2814C) was made in Japan (or at least the
card itself was), but its cable has an Industry Canada sticker. 

Was it David who'd mentioned that two different screens were used in the 
701? I wonder if there are any differences in the sites of manufacturing 
between one and the other...
