Advantages: The product is cheaper because you don’t have to pay for software or fancy packaging. Disadvantages: You don’t get software you might need or the packaging you might have expected. If in doubt about what is included with the OEM product, please contact us. Sometimes, but not always, drivers are included. This is not usually a problem as drivers are available from manufacturers’ web sites. Usually application software is not included.
