Meathead,

An earlier posting containing a discussion of CPQ's margins was very revealing. It claimed that their margin on the low cost PC was 14% and that it had an average price of $1,100. Next it claimed that their margins on the higher priced units were only 15%.

The average margin for all CPQ products was 27 %. If the posting is correct CPQ's desktop margins are really poor. What do you think?
