Can We Actually Say Zinox Are The First Maunfactures Of Computers In Nigeria?They claim they manufacture computers, but I feel they just sell computers. If you know what it takes to manufacture a computer you would know what am saying. They just buy parts and put it together. The only thing they did was to add the naira sign to the key board which had already been done anyway.

True word!. If thats what manufacturing a PC is about. I am a manufacturer too.
IBM and co only buy processors They make computer parts.
Zinox is fake

What ever it take to manufacture a computer it has to start from somewhere,I think we need to support Zinox as being the indigenous computer company in Nigeria. So many years back in China it was ABACUS that was been used in place of computers.

@Layi. have you been to their factory to see what they have and are doing? Stop running down people who simply make efforst to make things work

I'ld let that go Omon but its pretty obvious u don't know what you're talking.
Firstly, how do u know i've not been there? Why conclude on assumption?
Its obvious they are only assembling stuffs there. Lots of engineers around do this so whats the difference. What integral part of the computer do they make in Zinox apart from the casing? Even the keyboard is outsource to another Nigerian firm.
Secondly, who is making things work? What are they working? We have other companies here that do same eg Omatek. How is Zinox special?
What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Dont call yourself a manufacturer when u just assemble. Sincerity is the word here so Omon should be thoughful in subsequent posts so u don't get run over.

Why are we even having this discussion! Did Zhinox claimed they are not assemblying or what? I think we should commend them not rebuking them for not making parts in Nigeria when we all know that what it entails to make parts in the country are not there.

Layi, first of all, I did not conclude that you have not been there. That is quite immaterial now. Zinox as well as other computer assmblers/manufacturers should be encouraged and not made ridicule of. I am sure there are certain parts of the PC that are made in Nigeria.

@demmy & omon: spot on!
well, i just want to say even most of the big guys (HP, toshiba & co.) do the same thing as zinox. my HP laptop's LCD wasn't made by HP. the hard-drive isn't HP, the board isn't HP, the RAM, of course isn't HP.
so these companies know what they are doing.

If assembling PC is manufacturing them then Otigba is the biggest manufacturer in Nigeria.
It's not cost effective for PC manufacturers to make computer parts. Also if all PC makers decided to make components themselves there will be vendor lockins since most of the components won't be compatible with products from other makers.
Zinox is not the biggest here, Otigba is it.

codec i see your point and true not all these companies manufacture all computer parts but they do more than just assemble it ..........my point is what zinox has done is not special and am not trying to put them down but lets face it if u saw there launching u will understand how i feel why so much noise?.... what they did had already been done by other so called manufactures and because there is no proper support those guys do get that kind of recognition so why should they claim they are the first manufactures of computers in Nigeria

I think that Zinox are doing a lot more than just assembling PCs, and they should be commended for the efforts. Not having their efforts undermined.

They're doing a lot. That's the most I can say. Evidently, there are not too many pro-Zinox guys in here, so I'd reserve my comments.
They necessarily don't have to design the components themselves before they can say they are the first computer manufacturers in Nigeria. They've got credible manufacturers making these things for them so they can claim they manufacture them. This is the same with the other international branded systems.
If Microsoft and Intel are their partners, in goes on in reinforcing the fact that they are serious guys in the computer manufacturing industry here in Nigeria, not actually computer assemblers.
Why Microsoft never go partner with the guys for computer village, if na solely assembling be the key factor here?

Thats no big deal. Its all about "organization". When money meets a definite biz structure, partnership with microsoft is easy. The donz in the comp villa are mainly interested in making cash. Thats why thats hasnt happened hitherto. Moreover, what in zinox brand.? Its not that its cheaper. In fact its a very expensive brand in the market. What are we hailing? We'll appreciate the good ones " when" we see them puleeeaase. |

Alright oh, let's not fight over this. I have no Zinox computer, I know none of it's staff, I even don't know where it's office is, and for all these and more, I honestly do not think I should get myself chewed for a cause I inherently have nothing to gain.
My unwavering stance is still that they're doing well.

@layi
there' definitely a lot more that goes into assembly than u think.
if you compare two computers of the same spec, one assembled at comp villa, and a branded one. the branded one always blows the computer villa version away. the guys are oomputer villa assemble with inferior components that don't necessarily perform to their best capability.
imagine, a 3.2ghz P4 on a board with a poor bus speed with a slow 512 ram and large harddrive running with a low rpm. coupled with a poor integrated graphics processor. thats the kind of sh*t a newbie can get at comp. villa believing he's got a top-of-the-range system - only to be surprised the 3d game he just bought crawls.
branded systems on the hand use components optimized for each other to allow for maximum performance. that what a company like zinox and it's partners aim to achieve. optimum communication between components and maximum performance!

I've a Zinox PC and must confess they are pretty cool. Y'all know Rome was not built in a day and we should learn appreciating our own stuffs just like Omon has said.
We surely get there someday.

In terms of manufacturing I think that Omatek is doing more as they are also into large scale manufacture of casings etc. I don't know if Zinox is doing the same.
I have used a Zinox desktop for 2 years without problems.
Zinox is doing well in marketing because the chief promoter of Zinox is a go-getter and a seasoned IT person

@Layi and others
I think you should support Zinox and Omatek and the rest of them. At least, that's the best you can get from Nigeria. I saw an Omatek laptop sometime ago, and it was really cute. Worked excellently also.
If I were to buy a computer now, I would go for a Nigerian brand.

I was crazy when i saw it , i paid them and it was not just cheap they shipped the laptop directly to me here in nigeria, though i paid a good price for the shipping.The laptop is factory refurbished , but my question is why do i have to go that far to get a refurbished laptop, why don't hey do that in nigeria. I think they still have some varieties of the laptop available.you may check it out on www.realcomputervillage.com |
