Intel/Gigabyte/AMD do work, you just put the parts together and sell them for 1000 dollars more than what they actually cost

Considering the expensive cost of labor in the US, I'm not surprised to see that this factory doesn't have much equipment, only manual assembly. I don't think Chinese company Lenovo is willing to pay a medium to high wage for these workers.

And then, some idiot buys one, takes a rifle, shoots at it and makes a youtube video.

Doesn't seem like a hard job considering that they don't even make the hardware, just assemble them.

How long does it take to make a laptop from scratch ?

[papolugeetanath]

More than half of them by now must have got layed off and replaced with industrial robots with AI.

To be honest... I'm kinda disappointed, 'cause I thought that there would be a greater automation in the production line by now

[snowfall]

This plant still assembles servers for lenevo

[leepakim]

[tuffatank]

[petersketch]

Is there hard Challenges doing this Work ?

[armwrestlingfan]

Where are the factory videos where they actually make the parts??

[yuvarajvelmuruganmudaliyar]

Consumers should have full control on changing RAM and storage they would like to install.

[arah]

These laptops in this video is already in some random people's home or office at random parts of the world.

[propertysystemsinspection]

So it takes 44 people to screw in a light bulb.

[sokpisethlalalanno]

Don't tell us that you've already use it because it's became a second-hand :D

[jeremyakan]

[dominykaszakrys]

china limits itself to only 5 minutes of process from assembling to shipping :)
