To best of my knowledge most of the Branded companies like IBM, HP, DELL and even Apple...don't manufacture their components...It's just that their components are developed by best vendors of respective fields like Harddisk by Seagate, Keyboard and Mouse by Logitech...etc...So I guess no matter You buy a IBM or some other brand harddisk, the original manufacturer has to be different
Lucky you man!! Pune is as expensive generally, so i cannot actually complain !! But the price difference is steep, i was getting the 80 gb for 1925.wow, Hitachi 160GB sata2 is for 1950/- in Kerala.
