India launches its first cheap PC
By
India’s first low-cost personal computer has been launched in the Tamil Nadu state capital, Madras. Designed by IT firm HCL Infosystems, it is priced at 9,990 rupees ($225) and includes all the basic features required for a first-time user. With a 1GHz CPU and 128mb of memory this system shouldn’t make Falcon Northwest and Alienware worry about the US market!
Federal Minister for Communications and IT, Dayanidhi Maran, told journalists he had personally tested the new computer and is fully satisfied with it. “This PC meets all the basic needs of a first-time user and it can be upgraded in the future,” he told journalists at the launch in Madras.
