The new devices are much faster than the ones Blue Sky first produced back in 2015,\u201d the reporting partner explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNow, the sales points are promoting the new Blue Sky brand notebook and desktop computers as their best computers, and they\u2019ve become the most popular computers [among North Koreans].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With graduations in March and the new school season beginning, the recent launch of the computers appears timed to take advantage of the seasonal swell in demand for electronics and may be a sales tactic designed to absorb people\u2019s foreign currency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">News about Blue Sky 3.0 notebook and desktop computers for sale is spreading quickly through the capital, with Pyongyang university undergraduate and graduate students along with researchers showing particular interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the reporting partner, the customer-favorite Blue Sky 3.0 16-inch screen notebook computer sold through sales points in Pyongyang costs USD 1,200. The computer comes with a battery, charger, wireless mouse, mousep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ad, bag, a flashlight, HDMI cable, and LAN cable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blue Sky 3.0 desktop computer is currently being sold for USD 800, but <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the price is reported to be a bit higher <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Nampo and other cities nearby Pyongyang<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transportation costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, electronics stores in Chongjin (North Hamgyong Province) and Hyesan (Yanggang Province) had sold Blue Sky brand notebook and desktop computers for RMB 3,500 (around USD 513) and RMB 1,700 (around USD 249), respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even adjusting for the improved performance, these new computers are more than double the price compared to four years ago. Despite this, the reporting partner said that there are so many people in Pyongyang who want to buy the computers there is not enough<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inventory leftover to send to vendors in other cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many young people in Pyongyang who have already bought the new Blue Sky 3.0 computers have reviewed the devices favorably, remarking that there is an obvious improvement in computing speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYoung college students, researchers, and parents whose children have just graduated high school and passed the entrance exam to get into a university in Pyongyang are beginning to trust North Korean-made computers,\u201d the reporting partner said. \u201cNow we\u2019re seeing people rush to buy the computers before they sell out entirely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Translated by Rose Adams.
