diversify products in this segment because it is suitable for students. However, the
schedule of goods to Vietnam depends on computer manufacturers and currently
lacks production materials and accessories in these segments. All laptops in this
segment, if any, are imported by FPT Shop because of the high demand.

of the total sales of laptops in August and are decreasing compared to July because
the quantity of goods in this segment is in short supply. total sales increased by
nearly 50% compared to July.
