I suppose to someone who writes like you it's not difficult to read; shit as it is it's something that you can barely aspire to think about hoping for.
But to those who can actually write it's torture, like a professional musician listening to some tone-deaf pub singer, and you simply give up.
By the first sentence of the summary, at least one writes it.
I'll repeat it here just in case manishs sobers up and fixes it:
Speaking of Chinese electronics giants, Xiaomi, which has in the recent months delved its toes into wearable, smart cookers, air purifiers, suitcases products, on Wednesday announced it is entering the PC market.

As soon as you start frigging around with tenses, pronouns, voices or any other form of paraphrasing, even a tiny bit, it ceases to be a direct quote and should NOT be marked as one. This is Journalism 101.
The author adds that a person looking into making one such gear also needs to always have to keep investing time and money in as long as they want to stay at the cutting edge or recommended specifications range for new PC games.
The words are English but the sentence isn't even on the same tectonic plate. Note that, again, the original article was better - "[...] this is something you're going to have to keep investing time and money in as long as you want to stay at the cutting edge or recommended specifications range for new PC games."
Though it does go on to say nerve-wrecking. That's not in the context of myelin deterioration or anything like that, before some aspie chimes in with a hypothetical corner-case that might be relevant once in the entire life of the solar system.

Proofread. Do you do it?
What does it measure in there?

Spending money on a house doesn't necessarily increase its value at all, let alone by the amount spent.
Nobody talks like that. You mean "Elon Musk also announced ...".
GP was referring to use as a noun.
I don't think this discussion is for you.
Break isn't just slang. It can mean a pause in work, or a fracture.
The 80s called. They want their trickle-down economics back.
I, write right here: that manishs, does not know, how to use commas.
If that was the case, the headline would read "Ex Cardinals' Scouting Director" and not "Ex Cardinal's Scouting Director".
The latter implies the scouting director belongs to one cardinal.
Indeed I do.
