Actually the high cost is associated with VAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax). Americans on the other hand pay taxes in other forms.

Asian isn't a culture. The remark above is quite obtuse and the mere fact of using a Japanese term to address an incident in China is ignorant at best.
Touchscreen Netbooks To Shine At CES 2009 109
i4u writes "The new generation of netbooks debuting at CES 2009 will add touch and have twistable screens to use them in tablet or notebook style. Intel is set to introduce a new Classmate netbook with a twistable screen and touchscreen at the CES 2009. Back in October Asus said it was planning to introduce touchscreen Asus Eee netbooks in early 2009. Asus is exhibiting at the CES Unveiled pre-show that takes place on January 6th. Expect the Asus Eee Touch to be unveiled then. Gigabyte has outrun all of them with the Intel Atom-powered M912V that has been on the market for a while. Adding a touchscreen is rather easy. More difficult is to offer a touch-optimized UI. Let's see what the netbook vendors are going to invest on the software side."

That mode of thought is exactly why it takes you 60 hours to provide the utilization companies seek. If you actually had the attitude to move forward in the company, you wouldn't be looking at it from a status quo point of view. Consequentially, that train of thought will also improve your own utility and most likely cut down on your hours worked while pushing your career forward.
