In Asia, Japan is king in Autos, Consumer electronics, but not computers.Of course , you
can buy a cheap computer in the mall according to your spec, i.e size of memory, speed
of cd-rom, ...etc in Hong Kong, the question is do you ever think about the quality you are buying? Your computer will not go through the system burn in process, they may tell you
the CPU is Pentium 166 Mhrz, but in reality what you got is Pentium 133 Mhrz, The may tell you that you got a 20X CD_rom , but in reality what you got is 10X . They may tell
you that you got 16 MB dram, but in reality you got 8 MB.... etc, so you may end up with
paying more for lower quality computers. That is my experience in Taiwan.
Probably that is the reason that even the Hong Kong security office would rather spend
!MM USD to buy PCs from CPQ , instead of buying cheap PCs in the Hong Kong Gray
market . In China, If the government or big corp buying PCs, they always buy from big
brand, because the persons who are responsible for the purchase would not like to run the risk
of buying PCs with secondary quality and which will be blamed by his boss, and all in all its
the government who pay , not paid with his own money. |
