And is this actually realised as a savings to the consumer? I'd imagine it works more like selling advertising space. The bloatware is another source of revenue

And is this actually realised as a savings to the consumer? I'd imagine it works more like selling advertising space. The bloatware is another source of revenue. Not a means to lower prices.
If they were really concerned about maximising consumer value, they wouldn't keep picking dumb prices that end in '9.99'.
- tn13 13y agoPrices are mostly determined by the competition and not by the seller. Say Sony manufactures a laptop at $100 and Lenovo at $102. If Lenovo has to be competition they have to somehow shove off that additional $2 required to make themselves on par with Sony. So every penny counts.
