Nowdays I think Chinese manufactures make it pretty easy to grab one of those unbranded computers and just sell it with your own brand. Is this not the case?

- mariusmg 14y agoYeap. For Android tablets it costs something like 1-2$ to "brand" it.
- RobAley 14y agoSimply rebranding basic hardware isn't going to compete with the likes of Apple. Cheap and cheerful (read: shoddy) hardware would quickly damage the Ubuntu brand, and the good hardware is locked up tight by the big brands. Canonical would need to put in some serious volume or R&D of their own to get good hardware that would lead to a viable Ubuntu hardware brand. Ubuntu users, at least at the moment, are quite picky about the specs of their PCs.
