you failed economics 101 didnt you?
they are cheap because teh labour force gets paid pennies, and the components are made by the cheapest suppliers. and they break down very quickly. a 10p diode will scrap a PC when it blows on the motherboard.. weakest link and all that.
example; 7 yrs ago i bought a toshiba laptop... P3 500mhz. cost around 1200 quid. ok, not the fastest, but i run linux, not windows so its not an issue.
3yrs ago lill brother buys a toshiba sattelite pro from PC world.. what a piece of junk.. then we find out its not a toshiba at all... all they supply is the case and a name.. its PC world and badge engineering. would you buy cheap junk with no name.. no.
instead we look for a name, it says durable dependable and quality. china produces cheapo junk.. we buy it because we think its a bargain... my old tosh for 1200 is still going strong after 7years... brothers sattelite pro is in the bin... after 3.. not such good value is it, given that the price was similar.

Its certainly uncomplicated... Lol, there's a cut back to what number processors AMD and Intel provides, there's a cut back to what number pics playing cards Nvidia/ATI provides, RAM, HDDs and so on. those type of would desire to be paired interior the main suitable mixture via the main suitable agencies and so on and so on. As you will discover, the whole economics of the situation is such that the chinese language could no longer flood the marketplace anymore than they already are. As an element notice, i think of maximum areas are made someplace then despatched to China for assembly, then despatched international. I.E my new Samsung liquid crystal demonstrate 32" became assembled in China.

where can u get laptops for $100? btw Yen is Japanese. RMB is China's currency. I don't care where the laptops are made. If they can do it cheaper, that would be awesome.

I agree with you, if China can make them cheaper then let them do it, I wish we could get them for that price in England.
