What happened to Aamchi PC and HCL and all those brnads which sold PC's at Rs.8,000?
No PC in India can be less thanRs.20000 if it has Windows Pre-Loaded.
^^^ INR 14,000 PC are there in market with pirated win XP
This move seems synchronized with the ubuntu move..
Whats the point, PC cannot go below Rs 15k in any condition with or without Windows.
I think we can build a PC for less than 10k
u can use a
VIA proc + Microtek Motherboard bundle = Rs.3100/-
256mb ram - Rs.600/-
Samsung 40GB - Rs.1800/-
Samsung CDROM drive - Rs.600/-
Samsung 15" CRT - Rs.3800/-
Kbd & Mse - Rs.450/-
Desktop Speakers - Rs.200/-
Cabinet - Rs.650/-
OS - Ubuntu Linux - Free!!!
Total - Rs.11200/- (well a li'll over Rs.10000/-)
Recently on The Hindu newspaper, I saw an ad by local company offering Desktop PC for 12k... Had Celeron proccy with 845 board if I remember correctly, plus the usual 128 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, etc...
In this case, since Dell is bringing the product, I would expect Linux or FreeDOS or XP Starter Edition (seems unlikely though) as the OS...
