Toshiba or Compaq

[Stoner]

Akal,

Please post if ever your feedbacks with regards to the durability and scratch resistance of HP's 'imprint' finish. I'm really quite interested on how it holds up in the long run.

Thanks.

Karamihan sa mga branded or top laptop ay gawa ng isa sa mga top 5 taiwaneese laptop makers (Quanta, Compal, Inventec, Winstron or Mitac).

Halos laphat ng mga piyesa at materyales ay galing sa parehong mga supplier at kasama na duon ang casing at PCB supplier. Sometimes in the factory where different brand is being made, each line is separated only by curtain. Also, ODM factory can sell their M/B design to different customer, thats why dont be surprised that the M/B used for Toshiba is the same with that of Compeq or HP, the only diference is the H/W configuration.

Perception or loyalty to a certain brand kaya nasasabi natin na matibay and isang brand. Each of the laptop manufacturer do conduct reliability testing and pass existing manufacturing standard.

If you really want to buy a good quality laptop, you better buy your laptop in Japan. Japanese will always make sure that the consumer electronic sold in their country pass stringest testing and quality -- 100%, but if the product will be sold outside Japan, an 80% quality standard is acceptable to them.

Also one thing that makes a laptop brand excell to one another is their BIOS and FW. Here ODM factory has no control on this and only the supplier released the BIOS & FW code to the ODM factory for production release.
