profile laptop advance

With different variants and types of laptops, these laptops serve different segments. However, many people do not know this local brand. Let's explore more this time.


Advan laptops were made several years ago when this brand was founded in Jakarta. Initially, Advan only produced household electronic goods such as televisions, smartphones and tablets. But only a few years later, this brand decided to expand its business into the laptop market by launching its first series, named the Advan Vanbook W100.


Advantages of Advani laptops

Advan Laptop continues to develop its laptops and launches various versions of new laptops with features that suit their price range.

Here are some of the advantages that you get when you buy an Advan laptop:

Lower Prices

Price is an important factor before purchasing any electronic product, including laptops. Global brands (such as Lenovo, Acer, HP) usually manufacture laptops in factories with higher technology and standards, which can increase production costs. Advan, on the other hand, as a local brand is able to produce laptops at a lower production cost. Advan, even as a local brand, has an easier distribution network so that it can help reduce distribution costs and the selling price of its products.


Best in Class Specifications

If you compare the Advan laptop priced at 5 million with other global laptops, maybe the specifications (technically) are better because in turn they can reduce production and distribution costs.


So that it can sell laptops with RAM, storage or more features than competitors. Of course, not all of these specs are better, some are worse. But basically Advan specs are generally considered more tempting than external laptops. 


Local Pride

Local pride is a sense of pride and love for products created and made by Indonesian hands. In addition, by buying local products, we indirectly contribute to the development of the country's micro and macro economy.

Local pride can be an important factor in a person and encourage the development and promotion of electronic products that belong to the nation and are used for daily needs.


Spare parts are easy to upgrade

Features such as RAM and memory can be upgraded relatively easily compared to other notebooks. This is because most Advani laptops are easy to disassemble, even for beginners (however, this will void the warranty). 2. Lack of Advani laptops

Advan is not without weaknesses. As one of the leading laptop brands in Indonesia, this brand still has a lot to compete with foreign laptop brands such as Lenovo, Acer or HP.

We have summarized the weaknesses of this laptop that came empty handed as follows:


Secondary selling price decreased

Most of them are local brands, if they are still being sold, the price will definitely go down. It doesn't matter if you are a laptop maintenance user or if you don't plan to sell your laptop in the future. There are several factors that can affect the selling price of used or used laptops. Some of them are due to local brands that are not well known to the general public.

Keep in mind that the selling price of used or used products can vary according to the above factors and is usually lower than the price of a new product.


Relatively lower durability

The idea that local laptops are more easily damaged than foreign laptops is, of course, true. Because laptop bags are not only made with better quality, but are also more delicate and easily damaged, the components inside are the same.

There are several factors that can make local laptops like the Advani less durable than products from other countries. However, that does not mean that all local laptops are less durable


Lesser Known Brands

Not many people know about the Advani brand, even most of the Indonesian people themselves, because this brand does not maximize its product promotion. Local laptops may have difficulty entering larger markets such as international markets. This may make local laptops like the Advan less well known outside the local market

It should be noted that not all home laptops are less well known. Some brands can also become very popular and well-known at home and abroad if these manufacturers have attractive designs, good quality, clear advantages, and adequate government and consumer support.


The design is less attractive

The designs of some laptops of this brand look less attractive compared to other global laptops.

The Adva laptop design is simple, unattractive and not elegant. Has several colors. But the very plastic and heavy body is also a drawback of their product range.


Different Service Centers

Local brands, including Advan, do not maximize service centers and other aftermarket services. If you are an Advani laptop user and experience damage, it will be difficult for you to make a warranty claim in your city or place of residence.

The only solution is to send your laptop via courier, they bear the risk if the laptop is damaged in transit due to unprofessional handling of the shipment.

However, that doesn't mean that all local laptops don't have good customer service. Some local brands may even focus more on after-sales service and have a good reputation for providing proper after-sales service to their customers.

With increasing competition in local and global markets, more and more local brands understand the importance of after-sales service and are starting to develop strategies to improve their service quality.
