$100 Laptop In Production
Thursday, July 26, 2007
I had heard about this news that we will soon be getting laptops in the developing countries where we can buy it for $100. At first I thought there must be catch in it, as I have experienced that nothing is free in this world and nothing is cheaper too. Everybody has profit in their mind and every every business is set to earn profit. Well I might be wrong this time.While surfing through google I found out the news published in the official bbc news site the head, '$100 laptop' production begins. Yeah, it really was true. I further read that it has been five years sine the concept was first proposed and now the company is going into mass production. The organization was behind schedule as they had 3m laptops to produce but now since the hardware suppliers have given the green light to ramp-up production of all of the components needed to build millions of the low-cost machines, the organization is working right on time. It is estimated that the first machines should be in the market and in the hands of children in developing countries by October 2007. The organization has not revealed about the countries which have bought the first machines.
I am sure our country will too have something in this area as we too are developing countries and not only children but I say the adults too need this type of computer in hands. With all the problems with load-shedding and other problems this laptop will surely serve as the backup for the webmasters working in our area. I am just dying to see it in our market!
