OEM

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. An OEM is a company that buys hardware in bulk and builds and sells computers from it. The term applies also when purchasing computer hardware like a DVD burner or DVD-RAM drive. The difference between buying an OEM version of a DVD Burner instead of its retail is it probably won't come in a box, will have much less included software, if any, and less paperwork with it. It's OEM status may also affect its warranty compared to a retail boxed version.
