But in Shenzhen, the Tablet army has reached more than 1000, they almost copied the history of mobile phones, again plunged into a price war quagmire, and even some manufacturers have sadly left the field.

"One does not consider the quality, performance of the tablet computer, ex-factory price at least 290 yuan, plus channel costs, retail prices of less than 400 yuan almost no profit." A person close to the factory said, but such products are not normal use, "for shanzhai manufacturers, ' No minimum, only lower." Everyone in the raw material fuss, screen with the eliminationProduct, memory just enough to boot. "There is no order in the whole market," he says. "In fact, the price war is not only a cottage to face." After entering the summer season, the big brand of tablet computer is also playing a promotional campaign.
