Who here would be interested in a company whose goal is to manufacture computers and sell them for a good price instead of charging way too much in the name of profit and not bringing the best computers to the computer users out who deserve a true product for a proper price. If yes please give thoughts and what you would like the company to do for its costumers
Interested in computers at a good price
- Thread starter RRMurty
- Start date
.....And the point of this thread is.....?
To find out what people would think of such an idea
Yes I am me and a few others we are currently in the development stage and are currently looking for what some people would say to this idea and feed back and what they would like from a company such as the company we are setting up
Well let's put it this way we know you all would but we want to know what type of things would you like the company to offer that a lot of companies seem to have missed
Well that's completely different, but most of us here don't rely on companies, we do and incite people to do the work themselves (for free).
Yes I know I myself at a young age have built 13 computers 5 from scratch I know all about that but what about the people who find it hard to build from scratch or from a kit then what about them
What kind of rates can you get on your stock? How much of a profit margin per unit would you need to not only cover parts and labor but warranty, shipping, support, facility and similar budgets? Economies of scale are going to work against you to a large degree.
If you are 'building a computer' wouldn't they all have to be from scratch ?
Well there are kits where you get all premise pieces and slot together then there are from scratch where you build each individual piece yourselfWhat kind of rates can you get on your stock?

And for the different models it's different but for 10 of our low range models our net profit margin is at 25.8%
All of the manufacturers have their budget options. I've seen HP laptops retail new for under £300 for example. Whether or not they're worth buying is another question, but cheap, new computers do exist. And don't forget that because most computers depreciate so quickly, the second-hand market is full of good deals on machines that are a few years old and are still great today. A high-end machine from even 5 or 6 years ago is still adequate for the vast majority of people today.

I think you'd be getting into a very tight market. PC sales are declining year over year in favor of mobile devices. Many who buy computers go to Walmart or Best Buy and get whatever is cheapest, which you can find new computers for $300 bucks, sometimes less on sale. Unless your new computer company can get into these box stores or find your way to major online retailers, I don't see how consumers are even going to know about you.
yes that is true but I'm talking about computers that are gaming computer standard and would usually be sold for 1000 for 600 or sold for 2000 for 1200 and many more such deals

I don't follow. What does "sold for 1000 for 600" mean? Do you mean a gaming PC that costs $1000 from other companies, you'd sell for $600? Also, the custom gaming PC market is even more dried up IMO. You have sites like Cyberpower, iBuyPower, Alienware, etc. that sell custom gaming PCs.

There is literally zero chance you will ever be able to be profitable. Too much competition out there, you are a nobody, and unless you purposely lose money over and over again, even then, you will never be able to beat the competition that is already established.
Stop this nonsense..
Stop this nonsense..
Alienware are a subsidiary of Intel so they are completely funded and staffed by Intel so they technically aren't a custom computer company and yes computers that are usually sold for €1000 would be sold for €600 and others to say the market is dry far from the truth actually our market research has shown that a lot of people still like the thought of a computer over a small mobile device because you can't play a computer game on a mobile device can you no you can't
