World’s Cheapest and World’s Thinnest laptops

January 16th, 2008 4:34 pm by trekkerboy

After Tata Nano, there comes yet another world’s cheapest from India.

HCL Infosystems has launched a laptop for only Rs 13,990. Slated to be the world’s cheapest ultra-portable laptops, the MiLeap would be available in two series, X and Y, at a starting price of Rs 13,990 and Rs 29,990 respectively.

Pictures here. Nobody seems to know the complete specification/features yet.

I read somewhere that it is a tweaked version of Intel Classmate, which is by the way a competitor for the 100 Dollar Laptop.

Update: Configuration/Spec:

The MiLeap X

* 7-inch LCD screen,
* 2 GB of solid state internal storage,
* 512 MB of memory
* Intel Celeron mobile
* The operating system is an Ubuntu flavour of Linux, though users are free to port a Windows version if they choose, adding an external hard drive through the USB port.
* CD/DVD drive has been dispensed with to achieve the low selling price of Rs 13,999.

It’s the world’s thinnest notebook (computer),” Jobs said with a smile. “We went out and looked at all the thin notebooks out there and tried to distill a best-of-breed.”

MacBook Air is a lean wedge-shape, .16 inches (.40 centimeters) thin at the front and .76 inches (1.9 centimeters) thick at the rear. Jobs compared it to some of the market’s thinnest laptops measuring .8 inches (two centimeters) at one end and 1.2 inches (three centimeters) at the other.

MacBook Air could easily fit inside its thinnest competitor, a Sony model, Jobs said.
