Hard disk prices Zhongguancun notebook prices

In people's minds, the price of electronic products has always been declining: whether it is laptops, mobile phones or MP3/MP4, digital cameras are showing this trend. However, the opposite is true, especially when manufacturers face natural disasters - everyone may remember that the earthquake in Japan in March this year led to a rise in the price of domestic digital cameras. This "trouble" is repeated again today, unfortunately this time it appeared in the computer field.

The specific situation may have been heard: Due to the recent floods in Thailand, Western Digital's hard drive factories in Thailand were flooded, resulting in a serious impact on the hard drive output of notebooks/desktops; due to the current global hard disk production of about 60% of the share comes from Thailand, Thailand's hard drive capacity has been affected, prices naturally rise inevitably - some domestic hard disk products even prices 60% -70%.

In laptops, the hard drive is an essential part - the price of the hard drive, and the price of the notebook must be affected. Although many PC manufacturers have a certain amount of hard disk reserves, it is difficult to ensure that these inventory hard disks can persist in the market and hard disk prices fall. Gossip to say less, we still have a look at the price trend of notebooks in the Zhongguancun market:

Although the current situation in the market due to hard disk prices caused by notebook prices is still relatively small, but this does not mean that the notebook will not increase prices in the future: now does not increase the price of the brand may be because there is a certain amount of inventory of hard drives, wait until inventory The hard drive is depleted and the price of the notebook will naturally increase. Therefore, we remind consumers here that those notebooks that haven’t risen in price are rushing to get rid of it. This “drive crisis” cannot be solved in a short time.
