How is this OEM?

Yeah, that's a pretty confusing term, sorry, I use it still as "other equipment manufacturer". I guess where I learned it, in the audio business, it generally refers to someone that makes cabinets to manufacturer spec and uses that manufacturers speakers in it, e.g. a JBL woofers and tweeters in a cabinet you make in house.

 

"OEM (pronounced as separate letters) is short for original equipment manufacturer, which is a misleading term for a company that has a special relationship with computer producers. OEMs are manufacturers who resell another company's product under their own name and branding. While an OEM is similar to a VAR (value-added reseller), it refers specifically to the act of a company rebranding a product to its own name and offering its own warranty, support and licensing of the product. The term is really a misnomer because OEMs are not the original manufacturers; they are the customizers."

 

I probably still didn't use it correctly.
