TSF, Here's a clue on Dell's China share of Asian market.
"John Legere, Dell's president for the Asia Pacific Region, also told Dow
Jones News Service that sales in China at the end of 1998 were running at
a rate equal to $100 million for the full year. "
And the prices miss the sweet spot.
"Thus, for Chinese looking for bargain home computers, China-made
Dells aren't especially attractive.
Dell's cheapest desktop sells here for about $1,500, compared with about
$800 for a desktop made by Legend or other domestic manufacturers. A
comparison of the Dell Web sites in China and the United States produces
other examples of why Dell isn't a consumer's bargain in China. A typical
Dell high-end OptiPlex GX1p desktop sells for $3,010 in China, compared
with a $2,672 pricetag on a virtually identical GX1p model
purchased through the Dell Web site in the United States. A typical Dell
266-megahertz Latitude notebook costs $3,601 when purchased through
the Dell Web site in China, compared with a price of $2,902 when the same
model with the same features is bought through the Dell Web site in the
United States.
