Lol what, are you even indian? Foxxcon pays upto 1.5x the local rates. They pay around ₹16k/month which is decent for a labourer.

The US has long since lost its manufacturing advantage. Expensive workforce that is difficult to mobilize with fairly poor reliability, and tons of overhead that doesn’t exist in the EMs

Watch ‘American factory’ to understand.

note this includes a 19% sales tax on them, so this is the final price.

US prices are always without any sales-tax included (which can vary from state to state and is on average like 5-10%)

Haven't they heard that us Europeans are poor?

I thought about building a PC the other day. A 3050 alone costs more than my Series S did.

It’s not a question of affordability for me, it’s a question of justification. What does spending £800-1000 on an entry level machine actually get me, above and beyond my console?

Is whatever that is, actually worth a 3/4x cost of entry versus what I paid for my Series S? I just don’t see it anymore.

These prices, you could buy a PS5, Series X, Switch, and a Steam Deck for the same price as the flagship cards.

I am saying I don't want to find out all the money which went to China to use the factories of the world went into three things corrupt officials, Military build-up, and buying real estate and companies in western companies neither the Chinese people nor Western people have profited and in the western world, the profits are in the hand of a few shareholders at the expense of the working people so I think we don't need to do this again...

They're going to beat us just with their Bollywood dancing.

If these are the real prices, Nvidia is going to be absolutely crucified by AMD this generation.

you saying in 30 years there's gonna be a US vs India cold war ?

Placeholder prices probably

I rather see them pay American workers than later the War machine and trade war costs

I have a MacBook Pro from 2009 and a mid-2014 iMac. I don’t have issues with either even though they aren’t supported anymore. I challenge you to find a Windows laptop from 2009 that still works.

If ya think Apple will pay more for the same you are living in fairtale land.

Everything in india is corrupt, you get shot ya gotta pay the cops to not arrest ya.

You're correct, but Apple dictates which versions of OSX they'll support on which hardware. Windows just runs on any hardware and continues to update. As does Linux. Apple decides it's not worth their effort (but really just want you to buy a new computer). Anyone who's owned an older Apple knows the drill.

Cost of Labor is a huge cost. It makes a lot of difference in the eventual margins that these companies are looking to have.

I am sure they can survive if they bring the manufacturing to US but their profits would be less than half of what they can currently get. Which means shareholders will not be happy.

It’s all about money.

Find one on the Indian factories and I’ll agree with you. The Indian labor market is significantly different to China. The cost of labor is cheaper there.

He doesn’t know shit about Indian market. He’s just making a blanket statement.

low wages long hours. Like how Nestle relies on children to pick cocoa

is that why they added anti suicide nets to their buildings?

Instead of focusing on new releases only, why not purchase 1-2 year old components?

AMD Ryzen 5 5800X - $200
Intel Core i7-11700 - $195

Can you explain how factory workers in India are categorized as slaves? Like are they forced labor? Or is this just another brainless edgy comment ?
