Interesting. I have been using such PCs in my Chinese office for about a year. They are made in a factory about 30 minutes from me. I was considering designing a better looking case and bundling a more reliable power supply to export these but I got busy with bigger business.
These Shenzhen factories are somehow getting these Intel CPUs for next to nothing. Factory price for the i5 model was about $100.
- aroch 11y agoAt least in the past, I've heard of people getting lots of low binned / questionable QC'd intel chips for dollars per chip. They basically go for auction to the highest bidder. If you're willing to deal with a high defect rate (Either extensive QC yourself or just don't give a shit), it is a pretty good deal.
