Hardware Laptops for Rs 5,000 in 2 years Ahmedabad, Dec. 13 An Indian company, with the motto of “Developing a laptop nation”, plans to make available laptops for just Rs 5,000 in the next couple of years, its promoter said here today. The Mumbai-based Allied Computers International (Asia) Ltd, which introduced here a seven-inch-screen mini-laptop worth Rs 15,000, would also come out with three other products soon, its Chairman, Mr Hirji Kanji Patel, an NRI and ex-missile scientist from the UK, told reporters here. The company which raised Rs six crore through an IPO in October 2007, becoming the first laptop specialist firm to be listed on the BSE on November 23, markets its products under ACi brands, mainly in Mumbai. He said the world’s first sub-Rs 15,000 “real” laptop was equipped with over 1 GHz CPU, 80 GB HDD, 512 MB RAM, with a built-in web-cam and wireless LAN and Bluetooth. The company’s first sub-Rs 20,000 wireless, Core 2 Duo laptop, which currently accounts for 60 per cent exports, would be provided to the rural schools of India soon. — Our Bureau More Stories on : Hardware
