Indian govt to blame for low pc penetration

“The 20-45% tariffs on PC purchases in India are way too high. Until the Indian government reviews the import tariff policy, major global manufacturers will be reluctant to devote their marketing and sales resources to the Indian market as there’s already precious little money to be made on PCs already,” noted a Forrester spokesperson.

A country like vietnam with 1/40th the population of India is adding 3.3 million pc's while India buys 11 million pc's per year.

iBook in india cost 75000 plus. in USA same is worth around 43000. s*cks.

What could be worse than happily bringing home a shiny new hi-end PC for which you have paid through your nose, and log into messenger to be told that all the others have already had the same since 6 months and have now moved on? 😛

Apple does that quite often.
