Hi,
Since I have an HP laptop which means it's a branded notebook, however, I see that there are other hardware componets not produced by HP, such as HDD is Toshiba, Graphics Card is AMD, and CPU is Intel.
So, I am confused with Branded and White-box hardware, could anyone please enlighten me about these points below:
First: Could anyone please let me know what is the difference between Branded computer hardware and White-box computer hardware
Second: I think this terms'Branded computer hardware' and 'White-box computer hardware' can only be applied/called for Computer Systems.(laptop/notebook, desktop, tablet).
However, all other hardware components can only be branded hardware since they can only be produced by one manufacture.
Like storage devices can only be branded hardware:
Seagate, Toshiba, Western Digital.
Like Optical Drives can only be branded hardware:
LG, HP
Graphics cards can only be branded hardware:
Axle3D, EVGA, ASUS, XFX, Zotac, MSI, Sapphire, etc...
Memory can only be branded hardware(I don't know????)
