Quanta to produce the $100 laptops in Jiangsu, China
Quanta Computer has selected its new plant in Changshu, Jiangsu province (China) as a production base for the US$100 laptop project, initiated by the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) research initiative, indicated industry sources, mentioning lower labor costs in the region as the reason for Quanta to prefer Changshu to Shanghai.
Compared to Shanghai, Quanta may save up to 20% on labor costs in Changshu, which seem the most suitable site to produce cost-sensitive US$100 laptops, according to the sources. The Changshu plant was not projected to produce notebooks, so US$100 laptops are not considered by Quanta as usual notebooks, since their specifications and price range are far different from standard notebook models, the sources said
