HP is going to start using Chinese components to reduce costs

Although there is a perception that everywhere already used Chinese electronic components, Taiwanese manufacturers to distinguish between their products and competing products from mainland China.

Chinese components are significantly cheaper, so their utilization by the company HP, until recently, to give preference to the Taiwanese products, the source said. It is assumed that the transition to Chinese components allow HP to reduce costs and maintain its position as the largest PC manufacturer in the world.

Representatives of the supply chain claim that Taiwanese manufacturers risk being left out on as HP over the next year or two will bring the center of gravity in the procurement of components on the Chinese suppliers.

Another danger lies in wait for Taiwanese electronic components comes from Lenovo, the second-largest PC maker . The fact is that in years to Lenovo plans to completely cancel the service contract manufacturer laptopand go to the independent release of this product. Most likely, the Chinese company Lenovo will still use components produced domestically.
