What should you learn to become a computer hardware engineer?
It is too expensive for you to make computer hardware. When you buy a cheap computer from a low cost company it is only possible because that company has imported the parts into your country and only put it together in the shop you buy it in. To get the same level of quality that others are getting from their computers means you will need to buy the computer hardware fully assembled by a trusted international company. They design it, they put it together, they test it to make sure it meets the standards their customers want and you get a computer that lasts for years
