That's exactly why they can alienate them. The PC manufacturers don't really have many vendors to choose from.

For now. Would you risk a long-standing relationship with your most important customers for a temporary boost in income?

Wouldn't be the first time. They got caught in a huge price-fixing scandal just about a decade back and nothing changed.

And again, where are the customers going to go? There's only so much capacity and no one's building new plants.
