Chalo finally ACi is in the race too.
Also it will come to around 17-18k with taxes i think. But it has a 40gb hdd.

Yeah, Maybe the competition will help reduce prices.
Btw, Doesnt it looks like Vista in the screenshot?

Awesome news..Guys in India can atlast lay their hands on an ultra portable

that's a bullshit UMPC. Worth nothing. Gonna die within weeks after release.

^^And why do you say that ?

Yeah, Especially when The EeePC has similar specs and has become a huge hit.

First, They are misleading people by saying laptop for 15k. It's an UMPC and not a laptop.
Second, it looks good in picture but specs doesn't look good. via processor with just 512meg of RAM and that too running Vista. damn. it's gonna crawl like anything.

Firstly, I dont think many people in india would understand if they said UMPC.
They're trying to sell it to everybody, not just tech junkies.

Secondly, who told you to use Vista on it,
Install XP or Linux.

I dont see the point of ur accusations.

^^Exactly,and hopefully you would be able to upgrade RAM as well! So even that point stands invalid!

hahahaha!vista on that crumpy ultra mini

it will set another speed record for 2008!.

Few days ago Zenith also released lappy for 19k.*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/76.gif

^^Its not only about the cost..its also the portability

if its bellow 17k then yeah we have some thing in our hand

over 19k means I would invest 4k more for Compaq c702tu

between 17k and 19k

well bit confuse :lol:

Three things ...

1. whats the resolution of the 7" screen?

2. what about OS? i dont think it has vista preloaded..

3. battery life?

4. Any reviews? thegiven source leads to some french version of yahoo

Hmm.. its a good concept, but the small screen, and crappy proccy may not be that much accepted, although the small screen makes it feel quiet portale. It can be good for accessing internet, but any edition of Vista is a strict no no for such device in my openion.

Looks quite portable... although I'm not sure how comfortable people are with using such a small device...!!

Anyone here with any experience with an ultraportable...????

hey, whats the official site of aci... the aci-asia site is poorly designed...

The battery can be charged using solar power as well

AFAIK ACI has split, and its asian part has that aci-asia website, while the UK one has something else...

^yeah, thats what i was wondering about...

But the semi is not there on any ACi site.

It's just been announced, and not yet being manufactured for consumers; even if they are, it's not available yet.

But anyways, it looks good
