My guess is not much over 10 bucks for materials in the quantities they buy them in, but that's only a guess.
Then you add labor, upkeep, overhead, various taxes and import duties, shipping, storage costs, mark-up, the price of the bag the cashier puts it into......

In digikey, if you try using 10000 as quantity the cpu, ram, lcd, battery and other basic stuff don't go below 10 bucks. How many units is HP ordering? probably around that number?
