with HP suffering the steepest decline among the top five vendors at 30.9%
Good
Don’t worry guys, trump is playing 4d chess, you’ll see!
Any day now!
That might unironically lead to product quality going up.
It won’t, the problems of the shitty components from HP, Acer, Asus etc. is mainly due to design not production quality. They’re shifting for access to memory not quality is not their strongsuite as even the flagship Chinese producer, CXMT, is delivering less than consistent parts (Safedisk tests showed they have way more stability issues when fiddling with the voltage or the CAS).
But Howard Lutnick told me that there will be electronic factories all across the U.S, employing pastie corn fed Americans…
Quick, check on who all those PC company CEOs are shagging.
Oh no, HP’s quality will suffer 🙄
Lmao
Funny, but on the real, China is way better at manufacturing than we are at this point
I can’t even imagine how they could make shit-tier hardware even worse
Printers now emit teargas when displaying any message.
Powerbuttons are now made of metal, connected to 240V
Adding paper required disassembling the printer.
Inkt cartriges are now half capacity for the same price and expire after 2 months.
Ironically, the stupid expensive high-end laptops that pretty much can only be purchased through corporate agreements are quite impressive.
I don’t anticipate this worsening their consumer level products though lol
EfficiencyExploitation.They’re moving from cheaper (more exploited labour) in Thailand, Vietnam to more expensive (less exploited) labour in China for lower chip costs:
HP and Asus are moving some PC production from Thailand and Vietnam back to China as AI-driven component costs climb The work is going to Chinese assemblers like Luxshare and Huaqin rather than Taiwan’s server-focused ODMs, partly for access to Chinese memory TrendForce expects the share of notebooks built outside China to slip from 24% to 21% this year, with no sign yet of cheaper PCs as a result of said move back to the country
Previously they had moved prod from China to Vietnam and Co as Chinese wages kept rising.
While simultaneously hitting the gas pedal on the 6 decade long intentional destruction of the middle class.
China’s middle class is growing much, much faster than other countries are losing them.
Mexico’s too
