[Notebooks] Is it true that Sony?

Makes the Averatech brand? Someone posted this on another board, and a user bought an Averatech based on that comment.

Is this true? I had never heard that before....

Uniwill's the name.

Compare this »www.averatec.com/notebooks/6100series.htm
with this »www.uniwill.com/products/other/n···SA0.html

You can find many more obviously identical models if you browse the two sites.

None of the majors make their own notebooks. Toshiba, Dell, HP Compaq and Sony all outsource.

There are only 3 manufacturers of notebooks. All resellers, Dell/HP/Compaq/whatever, buy them from one or all 3 depending on which model.

Taiwan and Korea are the only players designing notebooks. Japanese manufacturers such Sony and Toshiba still do some in-house design, but they're feeling the pressure. Fujitsu Siemens as well. Samsung, LGE and TriGem are Korean and do ODMs for other brands.

Thanks for the link showing the Vendors, and manufacturers that build for them.

Edited the faq to provide a link to this thread.

The preceeding post may contain dry humor. Insert intelligent text here.
