China Makes, The World Takes
Topic: Technology 2:59 pm EDT, Jul 14, 2007

Inventec [is] one of five companies based in Taiwan that together produce the vast majority of laptop and notebook computers sold under any brand anywhere in the world.

Everyone in America has heard of Dell, Sony, Compaq, HP, Lenovo-IBM ThinkPad, Apple, NEC, Gateway, Toshiba.

Almost no one has heard of Quanta, Compal, Inventec, Wistron, Asustek.

Yet nearly 90 percent of laptops and notebooks sold under the famous brand names are actually made by one of these five companies in their factories in mainland China.

I have seen a factory with three "competing" brand names coming off the same line.
