Everything looks like it would fall apart within a maximum of 2 weeks.

Post a suicide video, that would be useful.

It's all in $.


Dumball, what is with the warped-esque nonsense posting?

The reviews seem to say otherwise.

Some of it doesn't seem too bad, though I was looking at it around 4 in the morning, just need to stick to stuff that they can't really get wrong, the beer bottle stoppers.

That said, a lot of our stuff is made in China these days, my Compaq laptop (HP I think?) is made in China, it's kind of hard to find things not made in China today, but if they are half the price of other Chinese items there is probably a reason.

I've bought plenty from dealextreme before, and I've only had one item that was shite.

Yep, the laptop that if you got handed one at work, it was unlikely you'd get a new one until you left because the f'ckers dont break.

The old thinkpads are the CG125s of the laptop world, old solid workhorses that'll keep going.

Not that much wrong with a HP Laptop either though to be fair.

At the end of the days lots of shite products are made in china, but some very good products are also made. As others have said Quality Control is the biggest thing. They can do repetition very well, however ensuring that the process behind that repetition is good is a major point. Some companies go into China/India and others and expect a western mindset, that's simply not the case. What you can do though is bring in the processes you've learnt in the west and transfer them to the lower labour/manufacturing rates afforded in those countries. The problem normally occurs when people forget or dismiss the fact that it takes considerable work and effort to get the guys out there to deliver what you want, but once you get it and keep ontop of it you'll normally have something very good at the end of it.

iPhones come out of China, infact most Apple devices do, they're renowned for being of a good and high quality of manufacture. Tons of laptops and desktops are assembled there are well. Saying that most of the 'intelligent' stuff is only done in certain countries. Intel for example manufacture the bulk of their chips in the US with some plants in Ireland and Israel. It's only now that they're trying to open a China Plant but the others will still handle the bulk of the work for a considerable amount of time.

Most companies, at least at the moment seem to be keeping the brain (thinking/research) of the company in the west and putting the brawn (repetition) in the east. I do wonder if this will eventually start shifting as the technical knowledge and economies of the east mature further though. And I see that happening quite quickly.

Just picking up a Lenovo tells you that it is well built. I miss mine. I have an Acer now - I can no longer treat it like a pavingslab.
