Let us just sigh and hope the brand will catch on without it getting pushed at us. I mean, any skunk can go to China and pull the same feat. You can get basically anything done in China and branded a local name. You see, the difference between Techno, Samsung, InJoo etc, is the boot logo, put in a different command and that partners logo shows up at boot up.

I m not the kind that gets entertained by some small stunts. I'd rather buy HP, same specs, lower price, legendary reliability and durability. These others are side shows i'd rather leave for the market to determine viability.

Am all for supporting local brands but that should not mean lowered standards. Keep the quality high price it competitively and it should take off. Sometimes cheap pricing gives an impression of low standard or inferior product.

Let me way in on this one. Forget the naysayers. The TaifaLaptop project is the way to go. Remember the Indian and Chinese firms which started small? They used perfectly the philosophy of "imitate then innovate". Tata, Huawei, ZTE, Mahindra all fall in this category. Tata went on to be so big it bought Land Rover. When visiting Huawei factory in China, you would find then reverse engineering Cisco equipments. Huawei network equipments and telecommunications devices are now mainstream.

Let us support local brands, we never know,  Taifa Laptop may one day buy Apple :)
