...e no, i produttori spesso non sono i vari Dell, HP, IBM...

...Ma sono le societa' (taiwanesi) che producono per talii colossi... colossi che poi devono solo attaccare il logo ed installare IL sistema operativo...

I veri produttori sono detti ODM...

In soldoni: stesso computer, minor prezzo...

The "Name" brands do not manufacture their own laptops. They buy them from Original Design Manufacturers (ODM). These ODMs sell their computers to DELL, Toshiba, IBM, HP, Compaq, Sony and others. They then put their label on it and market it. You can find the same laptops and buy yours without an operating system.
