The PC Drops to 10k
Continued from page: 1

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

Bottomline

  • There is no "sub-10k" PC yet, in India.
  • Margins on low-cost PCs are so slim, dealers retaliate by not supplying the OS. For the same reason, the promised "machine installation" doesn't work as advertised-consider yourself lucky if your machine is delivered to your car in the car parking lot!
  • Margins are so thin, dealers desperately upsell other PCs.
  • Dealers stock very few of these machines. Do not expect to walk in and walk away with the "sub-10k PC", even if you pay cash-down.
  • Stocks are erratic and quickly exhausted, when they do arrive.
  • It is not a pleasant experience for the uninitiated or the faint-of-heart.
  • Be prepared to spend about 20% more than what is stated in the advertisements ("sub-10k"). Simultaneously, be prepared to get less than what is advertised!
