You Want To Buy a Laptop, Which Choice? Brand or OEM?

By: Didier Pradel

What is the interest of a Original Equipment Manufacturer notebook?

The advantages are numerous. That can allow a local assembler to dissociate his product from a great brand.

Several factors take into consideration :

the price,

performances,

the possibility of powerful configurations and/or attractive specifications, for example by just adding the most powerful of the hard disks, the best of the processors and a powerful graphics card.

Perfect solution?

The advantages which we have just seen also have a counterpart. The retailer of the OEM cannot ensure a service of international or even national guarantee as effective as a great brand. the great failures often require a return to the importer.

The immobilization can thus be long, up to 3 or 4 weeks

A time which enters in competition with the bad after sale service of certain great brand !

Some retailers give wide guarantees which offer the repairing of the machine within reduced times and include the expenses of sending The laptop OEM becomes hyper interesting if the retailer is close !

The support is also summary the notebooks are delivered with a CD-ROM of drivers. The updates of a OEM laptop are comparable with those of a home made desktop it will often be necessary to go to directly seek the last versions on the sites of the manufacturers.

Are all the OEM equal?

The answer cannot be given in a radical way. All depends on which produced the machine and on this level, it is not always possible to find the source in an easy way.

performances?

If quality is variable, the performances are generally good to see very good level.

Brand or OEM ?

You have now all the cards in hands to judge. The safety of guarantee and support, are prerogatives of great brands, but the OEM offer largely lower prices for performances often definitely higher. The fact that great brands buying their machines directly from Compal is a proof so necessary that one can find the same level of quality on both sides. With a OEM, you must seek to update your pilots, but considering the speed at which certain large manufacturers update their site, this is not a big problem

The greatest fear is the repair service in the event of problem. The sending of the machine is likely to dissolve the savings made with the purchase OEM notebook is however an alternative of most interesting which will certainly allure more and more '' experts ''.
