$10 Indian Laptop is Not Actually a Laptop ?

Submitted by admin on Fri, 02/06/2009 - 09:29

Cheap LaptopIf you are a regular technology news surfer you must have heard about the much hyped $10 Laptop from India's Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), but the hype surrounding the cheapest laptop of the world having 2GB ram turned out to just a rumor when MHRD finally inaugurated the device at Tirupati (India), stating it as a computing device and not a laptop. The cheap computing device named "Sakshat" is developed by the students of Vellore Institute of Technology and a researcher from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India.

Clearing the doubts Joint Secretary Mr. N. K. Sinha said the computing device is 10 inches long and 5 inches wide, the computing device will have 2GB storage capacity and can store e-books, e-journals, and educative material through the Sakshat portal.

I dont think the device is worth anything useful, at maximum it can replace the text-book burden in Indian schooling system.

A computing device for 10$ should be worth it. The only spec given is 2GB RAM. What about other things :-)
