这个产品的卖点就是采用了先进的技术.
遗憾的是,这种产品太贵了,大多数消费者都买不起.
价格为什么这么高?
不是价格高,而是更新整个电脑系统兼容性的费用太高了.
现代电脑都不具有兼容性吗?
因为这种产品确实需要特别的兼容性能,因此目前大多数电脑根本没法派上用场.
也许下一代技术推出之后,这种产品的价格会让更多人买得起.
可是到那个时候,技术又该更新了.
确实如此,但是不管怎么样,我们的重心不应该一直放在价格承受度上.关注价格,我们的竞争力则不会很强,但是如果重视质量,我们肯定会占有优势.
你说得对,那样在市场上没有任何产品能与之相比.
这种产品技术先进,部件质优,外形小巧,质量上乘.
我想还是一分钱一分货吧.
