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!
