Lol confused, we solved Cool Nepali homework.. But its getting interesting now. I said -- "IBM no longer labeled as PC manufacturing company anymore. IBM is now IT solution powerhouse.." - Read it again carefully. I didn't say anywhere IBM doesn't manufacture PCs. I mean today's Market Perception towards IBM is different than Traditional PC manufacturer, as used to be before. BTW IT Solution Powerhouse itself justify my quote, "IBM do manufacture PC"..:P I am not specific to LAPTOP in Big Business - Regarding solution, big companies prefer to get one stop solutions for their system which Dell doesn't provide but IBM does. Don't confuse yourself between SOLUTIONS and SERVICES. Solutions focus on immense system than niche (not just gurantee and waranty). You said "the reason most companies buy laptops from IBM is because their laptops are manufactered in way that it becomes very easy to replace and add parts into.. " - I absolutely disagree with you bro. Do you know why Dell has won market share? Becoz of price and they tailor PC to demand. When I mention about Dell's way of PC customization, I guess I don't have talk about parts ? Bro again compare Apple to Apple and figure out who oversells PCs by the number. By the way who do you think Laptop is targeted to? Isn't Business people are potential LAPTOP users? How can you avoid the fact Dell is not among business ? Dell is not just among the general public like you and me. Do you know what is Dell Market Share alone ? 18.2 % followed by HP 16.9%.. IBM's big chunk of revenue is generated from Solutions. That is one and only IBM competitive advantage. Bottom line IBM delivers solutions not just its desktop and laptop. Jatta bata jasari kuro ghumaye ni you and I come to same conclusion anyway. Tara whenever you are given chance to work with IBM, never say IBM IS PC MANUFACTURER. :P
