Why is Thinkpad s hardware so expensive

In addition to the performance parameters, the computer hardware itself also has good or bad brands, and there are some differences in stability and longevity. In addition, the design and testing of notebooks also requires costs. ThinkPad notebooks cost a lot of money to design and test in terms of drop resistance, longevity, etc.

Including the addition of some hardware, software development, patent licensing fees, etc.

Well said upstairs, I add.

If the ThinkPad peripheral accessories are expensive, it is a very normal thing, such as the original battery, optical drive, base, etc., not only TP is very expensive, but other brands of accessories are also very expensive, because this is the main profit of the merchant and the manufacturer**,**It is several times that of imitation, and the quality is also several times that of imitation. And the compatibility is good, and it will not cause machine failure because of the quality of accessories. Penny wise and pound foolish.

Because a lot of the parts of the think pad have to go through rigorous testing and aging, and then the accessories are evaluated.

After comparison, stable accessories are selected to produce the whole machine.

Here's why:

1. ThinkPad notebooks are almost equipped with the classic Little Red Riding Hood design, which can quickly move the cursor and operate with the three keys next to it, so that the fingers can be efficient without leaving the keyboard. It is because it can improve office efficiency, so this also makes Little Red Riding Glory one of its symbols.

2. When using a notebook, no one can guarantee whether the use environment is the best temperature or humidity for the notebook, after all, we can't work in the office forever, so if the notebook has not been tested, the quality is not reassuring. The ThinkPad generally undergoes multiple rigorous control tests to be able to withstand harsh environments.

ThinkPad Features:

The design of the ThinkPad is inspired by the traditional lunch box, and the initial design work for the ThinkPad was undertaken by IBM's Yamato Design Center in Japan. The ThinkPad's pure black exterior is inspired by a traditional Japanese lacquerware lunch box: the Shokado bento, which is all black and is often used for lunch.

ThinkPad has created many successes and many industry firsts. By the end of 2008, ThinkPad had won more than 3,500 industry awards worldwide, which is almost the pinnacle that no other brand can surpass. The countless classic masterpieces created by ThinkPad have also built "milestones" in the history of mobile development.

Because the brand premium is too serious, the ThinkPad positioning itself is a high-end business computer, of course, this high-end refers not to the configuration, but to the brand. Let's just say that ThinkPad is the equivalent of Hermes and Rolls-Royce in the computer world.

The fundamental reason for the high level of thinkpad is the positioning given by Lenovo. ThinkPad was originally a computer brand owned by the "blue giant" IBM. Later, it was acquired by Lenovo because of poor management, and after Lenovo acquired it, it was high-end.

That is, it focuses on the business book of high-end people, and this positioning does not emphasize cost performance, but only pays attention to grade. And for business books, many people don't need top matching, just the pursuit of business books is thin and sufficient. Most of the business books are used by people who travel frequently, and thinness is the first requirement, and on the contrary, business people don't care, because even in our opinion, tens of thousands of dollars a thinkpad, in the eyes of those high-income business people, it is a drop in the bucket.

Looking at the brand of thinkpad, we can't look at it purely from the perspective of ordinary people, because people's positioning is not us at all, thinkpad's positioning is those elites with high incomes, those people are not short of electricity, what they lack is grade, to put it bluntly, it is face. When a person has status, it is inevitable to want to open up the gap with ordinary people, such as why rich people want to buy Hermes and LV, not necessarily because these luxury goods are good, but more because they represent status. And thinkpad is also such a thing, its pursuit is status, and no matter how high its ** is, it is also for us ordinary people, for elites, thinkpad's ** is very normal, because elites basically earn millions a year.

In general, the ThinkPad configuration is low, **high, because ThinkPad is positioned as a high-end business computer, and the group it faces is high-end business people, these people are not short of money, lack of face, so **high is normal, because for those business people, this money is not money.
