To be fair, a lot of what we're buying is reputation and QAQC. If you're buying 50 or 500 or 5000 tablets, you have a lot more leverage over the manufacturer/vendor than if you're buying one. The manicure set I bought on kowsun road is still going strong. The engrish "digital box/for the memories of digital" hard drive enclosure I bought at the same time lasted a month.

It's all made in China, though, and it's made aggressively. FUN FACT: Walmart, were it a nation, would be China's 5th largest trading partner.
