Assembled computers and Branded computers cant be differentiated just in terms of there mode of formation.
While Branded Computers comes with the value of trust in it, assembled computers give you a freedom of flexibility in chosing the h/w of the best company available and even the configuration which suits to individual.
Assembled Computers are declining the market bamboozle it used to enjoy because of many reasons like the availability of branded computers in retail stores, variable configuration made with keeping in mind the pc user and the exponential fall in the market price.The only advantage it has got is in terms of price which is just at the lower terms then the Branded pcs but the gap has been reduced to such a level that it is hardly any matter now.
Branded Computers have one more facility of full warranty making it easier for consumers to either replace the faulty product or getting service on it.
So to choose between two is really a matter of how much trust factor one wants in the system he is purchasing and if it is too high surely one should go for the branded one as the local assemblers cant be relied upon heavily while the time of assembling because they have no such factors like brand value.
