EME hardware purchase

[ricohard257]

most of the hardware innovations are pretty much launch in north America and Canada and even after a few years many of the hardware that exist in the states and Canada don't exist in Europe, now we understand that most of this non existent hardware in Europe is due to commercial law that restrict the usage of certain heavy metals which are banned in Europe but not in the states or Canada and manufactures don't find profitability in adapting their hardware for the European market.

if this was the only issue i would not make this post.

 

what i would like to Linus tech group address or making a review of is the difference in price by comparison in between continental America and Europe.

how manufacturers official distributors leverage hardware price way more than manufactures itself and how these official manufactures distributors have the market monopoly in all hardware sales since these official distributors are the same for all major brands and how these official distributors peg manufactures against each other on price in order to increase profit margins per product sale at the detriment of end users and manufacturers itself.

 

i understand the average gamer isn't concern with corporate hardware distribution but this is ultimately of their concern since the price of their gaming rigs is reflected on the flow of good sales per each quarter and adjust on price accordingly to match the prospect of sales for the entire life spam of that specific hardware, an i9 will be only cheaper to end user depending on the overall corporate purchase.

 

for instance the case of dell and all their line of Vostro, OptiPlex product lines, it was the corporate and its massive purchase that drove prices down and allowed intel chips like the I3, I5 be highly available and cheap, so the more corporate buys the cheaper the end user hardware will be.

 

if the AMD Ryzen 3990X Processor series line at this moment doesn't cost under 500 USD's is due to the lack of sales to the corporate sector.

 

if official manufactures distributors are who directly control availability and price, and not manufacturers themselves, current high end hardware will be always very expensive since official distributors will always have more margins of profit by selling nearly outdated hardware, which manufactures give to official distributors in order to get rid of old stock and not keeping in store.

 

imagine you suddenly became extremely rich and want build a huge office centre or datacentre using only the high end hardware and want buy it from one of the official manufacturers distributors.

 

first any of these official distributors will dissuade you from getting your own solution specification and suggest their outdated solution instead even if this solution belongs to a different manufacturer, you can ask for quotes for the dell precision flagships and receive Lenovo think station 99.99% of times is false and buyers end up just focusing on price difference and not on high end and current hardware, in all quotes from any official distributor solution is their margins of profit per sale of product regardless of the hardware and consumer needs, the official distributor will always say that A or B client will better served with an I5 than a I7 or I9 if the margin on the I5 is bigger than the more recent I7 and I9 CPU's.

 

to prove all the above i would like Linus tech media make a mock purchase as if they lived for instance in the UK and the same if you live in continental America.

you will see that is faster and cheaper order directly from dell headquarters to an valid address and reship to Europe at cheaper price and depending on the amount of sales its more profitable to rent or even buy a property in the states just for mail redirect purchases than actually  just buy from official distributors in the same country which is ridiculous and should not happen if hardware market is indeed free.

this is 100 times worse if any of these official distributors suspect you might want to be a direct competitor of them in the near future, in that case they will hinder your distributing career path at all costs by giving non competitive prices, supply hardware in utile time and many others sales infringement techniques.

 

for last but not the least, worthy of mentioning is the fact that these distributors are the same in continental America, Europe, Africa, middle east and Eurasia, they are not in Asia since companies like Huawei and Samsung have them figured out and complained to their respective governments and these official distributors are prohibited of operating in their countries  like it is in china and Japan.

in response those same official distributors launched the rumours that all Asian manufacturing hardware was embedded with spy software which was never found on the many hardware sold before its ban in continental America and UK (note: all micro circuits are made in Taiwan, China, Malesia, Singapore, etc which if indeed there was a spy hack in all produced chips and components, banning only Huawei and Samsung product line would not address the issue since all manufactures use components from Asian countries
