bulk og OEM

[Talker]

Hva er Bulk og hva er OEM?

Vet ikke hva det er så jeg vet ikke om dette er feilpostet...

OEM er programvare du får kjøpt billigere med nye pc-komponenter, som f.eks. hovedkort. Tror du får kjøpt OEM med harddisker også?

 

Bulk er hardware som kommer uten innpakning og sånt. Derfor er det billigere. Tror hardware har en ordforklaring på dette et eller annet sted på siden.......

Edit : Glemte og skrive at jeg kjøpte da en pakke med brenne cd'er.

OEM - original equipment manufacturer

Originally OEM was an adjective used to describe a company that produced hardware to be marketed under another company's brand. Mitsumi, for example, produced CD-ROM drives that dozens of companies would label as their own. It's often now used as a verb, as in this sentence: "This CD-ROM drive is OEM'd by Mitsumi

OEM, Brown Box & Bulk Products

The OEM and bulk versions of a product generally have some variations from the retail version, but often a much better price. OEM Products usually has different packaging, accessories, user's manual, software bundle, technical support and warranty than retail box. See below for details:

 

No fancy packaging. OEM/bulk products come in a white/brown box or simply in anti-static wrap or plastic.

 

 

Accessories such as cables and screws may not be included.

 

 

User's manual may be abridged or not included. If you find you need more installation information, it is usually available at the manufacturer's website.

 

 

Software bundle may differ. Although OEM/bulk products usually include any necessary* drivers, they may not come with the more extensive software bundle that sometimes accompanies a retail product. (*Note that some Plug and Play devices only require the standard Windows drivers, and therefore additional drivers may not be included.

 

 

Many manufacturers will not offer full technical support to end users who have purchased OEM/bulk products. Part of what you pay for when you purchase retail hardware is technical support, should you need it. That cost is not included in the price of OEM/bulk products.

 

 

Warranty period may differ.This is not normally the case, except with CPUs. Usually the retail version of a CPU has a 3 year warranty, while the OEM/bulk version's warranty only lasts between 30 days and 1 year.

Please note that although rare, variations besides these are possible, so it is always recommended that you compare the specifications of the OEM/bulk and retail versions to ensure that you are aware of the differences.

 

Purchasing a bare, bulk or OEM product is a great way to save money--especially if you are knowledgable about computers. Just make sure you understand how the product differs from the retail version.
