Quote from: Kabelkanal on February 09, 2023, 07:30:13Lenovo has made a profit of 3% (three per cent) - in total, over all products.
With only 3% profit, how in the world you expect them to provide for you a 62GB Ram setting, instead of 16GB, without going bankrupt?
Do not tell my slippers, I know the wholesale prices for laptops and how much they are cheaper than in retail.
Lenovo greedily sells even banal +8GB of memory in its laptops with 1 (one) year warranty with a markup of 200-300% relative to the retail price of the same module with at least 5 (five) years of warranty, and more often even 10+. It behaves approximately the same greedily (like other manufacturers, although of course Apple's greed cannot be surpassed by anyone in this regard) with SSDs and other components.
Your moaning could have had an effect on the naive public 35 years ago, when there was no Internet. But now, with just a little effort, I can scan all the wholesale and retail prices in the world in a couple of hours, and I can accurately get a picture of how greedy each manufacturer is with their laptop model, simply by adding together the retail and wholesale prices for the components that make it up. And I always get that the RAM and SSD are overpriced there at times. Like everything else. The minimum markup from the factory is at least 30%, not 3%. And this is the minimum. A greedy retail trade winds no less. Like the greedy criminal authorities, who, having taken a significant part of your income from you with taxes, when selling goods to you, they also cynically charge VAT (which in fact is a regular sales tax on the final buyer, for example, in Germany 19%, i.e. power rips off the population like sticky), as the second level, in a huge amount comparable to payroll taxes. Those. they have you in 3 stages - a manufacturer, a chain of speculators-sellers and the power of your country (this is thieves so thieves).
So I don't need to tell me about poor producers of goods, especially large multinational corporations, sellers and corrupt authorities with their extortions at times, which, de, they, poor things, cannot make ends meet with a constantly deficit budget with such huge extortions from the population of all countries. In the age of the Internet and the availability of any information in a matter of moments, these moans look ridiculous.
I have lived long enough and know too much about this world... =)
