In comparison to other ultra portable laptops we've encountered, the HP 2133 leads in terms of shear component count. With that said, the overall component count on the HP 2133 Mini-Note came out to 2113 (excluding box contents), of which, 315 are mechanical in nature. However, in order to squeeze the overall BOM cost to hit the target $500 retail price, HP did resort to using 2nd and 3rd tier parts such as the VIA processors and undersized flash-based SSD.

In order to maintain the durability and usability of laptops, HP has not reduced the overall quality of the material nor manufacturing tolerance as with other low cost PC (ULPC) manufacturers like Asus and FIC. However, the new emerging 'netbook' category pushes the bounds of cost-effective engineering in terms of reduced overall BOM and manufacturing costs. Invariably, laptop computers represent some of the more complex and electronically dense devices. This calculation is affected by country or region of origin as well.ĭesign for Manufacturing / Device Complexity ''Auto' inserted components (such as SMT components) placement costs are calculated by an iSuppli algorithm which allocates a cost per component based on the size and pincount of the device. Remember also that labor rates are applied directly only to hand inserted components and systems in our bill of materials, and although regional assumptions do, these new rates do not have a direct effect on our modeled calculations of placement costs for automated SMD assembly lines. In the cases of 'finished' sub-assemblies (such as LCD display), we do not calculate internal manufacturing costs, but rather assess the market price of the finished product in which case country of origin assumptions may or may not have a direct effect on pricing. Furthermore, we have assumed that custom mechanicals (plastics, metals, etc.) were also sourced in China.Ĭountry of origin assumptions relate directly to the associated cost of manufacturing, where calculated by iSuppli. It is our understanding that Inventec is the ODM for the 2133 Mini-Note PC.īased on markings, the unit was assembled in China. iSuppli estimates that HP uses five primary ODMs Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Inventec and Arima. OEM/ODM/EMS Relationships / ManufacturingĪccording to iSuppli's ''Global OEM Design and Manufacturing Analysis', HP's manufacturing capability is nearly all outsourced. Our cost analysis is meant to focus on those costs incurred in the manufacture of the core device and exceptionally in some circumstances the packaging and literature as well.

Not included in this analysis are costs above and beyond the material manufacture of the core device itself - cost of intellectual property, royalties and licensing fees (those not already included into the per component price), software, software loading and test, shipping, logistics marketing and other channel costs including not only EMS provider and the OEM's margin, but that of other resellers. The total materials and manufacturing costs reported in this analysis reflect ONLY the direct materials cost (from component vendors and assorted EMS providers), AND manufacturing with basic test.
