the desktop looks cool and the spec is not bed
Yes, very competitive in spec and pricing. The reason is that make their PC/Laptop motherboards and other computer items from a basic level and can configure their motherboards how they like (design).
What this means (bigger picture) is that we are manufacturing motherboards from scratch locally with wave soldering facilities and surface mount devices (components) pick and place machines. Chip manufacturing (FAB) is not feasible yet, but it is the same case all over the subcontinent as it requires expensive investments.
Soon other manufacturers will follow and we will have local expertise and resource for making all kinds of sophisticated items that depend on motherboards such as computer networking and telecom devices, as well as automation items. The possibilities are without limit.
Most people do not realize how much savings one can get manufacturing your own motherboards, but it is substantial.
