India unveils world's cheapest 'laptop' for $35

[TheBarathbushan]

Akash is a good tablet for the poor , but it's nothing great since the features are exactly the same of what the price is worth to be.

The great thing however is the government subsidizing half its price

[roryawesome]

This is the best thing thats ever happened since Jesus was born!

[marlenebentley1989]

whoop dee doo... what an achievement India. While the world is busy trying to make a great breakthrough in processors, reliability, and technology in general, India is going backwards by making (what I believe is) slow, unreliable junk.

Wonder if China will come out with a $5 tablet next...

[audiosutra]

Take it and go!

[me1993me1993me]

A similar laptop of this price could have been made much earlier (in time) if large multinational corparations were not all about the profits

[mahi98goodguy]

its very good india is trying to develop this product mainly concerning students who many dont have laptop n even big this laptops motherboard are designed by students

[TrueShadowJS]

so did this come first of the ipad? striking resemblance.

[buckinfitches]

I noticed Indians bobble around a lot when they talk... kinda like Canadians.

[milind006]

@buckinfitches Yes we do :)

We are a very agreeable people, we keep agreeing even when there is nothing to agree and that's where the head bob comes from. It means neither Yes nor No, though it can mean Yes at times. It mostly means OK or alright

[MrSaboteur1]

When its India everyone is jealous...Do you know that every computer made in the world runs on chip made by an Indian..Thumbs up if you agree

[sparoooow]

@MrSaboteur1 lollllllllllllll

[buckinfitches]

@MrSaboteur1 Do you know that the chips in every brand name computer are made by Intel a United States company run by an American? They have manufacturers in many countries including India, mexico, Philippines, Irland.... What chips do an Indian make because i haven't seen them?

[shammif1]

@buckinfitches google vinod dham,you'll know.

[MrSaboteur1]

@buckinfitches Vinod Dham,ਵਿਨੋਦ ਧਾਮ (Gurumukhi), विनोद धाम (Devanagari), ; born 1950) is an Indian inventor and venture capitalist. He is popularly known as the "Father of the Pentium chip"....Se Wikipedia for the same

[buckinfitches]

@MrSaboteur1 Yes he is an American citizen producing products for an American company. Thanks for proving me right :)

When i said what chips do an Indian make i meant India. Like an Indian company that produces chips. Yeah i know this guy is Indian but he is still an American working for an American company.

[TheBarathbushan]

@MrSaboteur1 " Vinod dham " does not change the fact that more than half of india is living in poverty , while others exploit the weak , and some middle class / upper middle class punk like you who owns a computer , comments On "Vinod dham" . Stop feeling proud , and start feeling revolutionary to protest against the injustice around you.

[MrSaboteur1]

@TheBarathbushan I don't need your advise to become revolutionary. I answered your question and made no statement to glorify a person making intel chips. I do perform my responsibilities toward this society and my country and I don't need to shout out loud to say that I am doing good. I fight for right and discourage any wrong doings and to do this I do not need to take your advise

[niash91]

@TheBarathbushan : dude seriously..?, THIS is revolution. The begining of it, at least.. dont tell me u cant see it! u just have a very narrow view about the 'revolution' u mentioned.

Oh and about the poverty, this device is FOR the people who cannot afford it otherwise, so that even they can own a tablet.

U cant stop me or anyone from feeling proud about india. But i cant stop you from 'not being proud' either.. I am just glad that i am not you.

[TheBarathbushan]

@niash91 When i meant revolution i was talking about bringing out a drastic change the socio-economic conditions of our country , not the tablet

you must be ignorant enough to feel proud of your country , or you are proud because you are insensitive towards the things happening around , or your just a simple nutcase troll , picking over a month old comments , just so you can get you daily "FIX" of wanting to own someone.

You must be one of those assholes who think being proud is being cool

[virgoptrex]

@MrSaboteur1 every portable plug and play device that everyone uses (USB) and Graphics card (PCI express) was made by an Indian architect Ajay Bhatt. The team is also lead by Bala Codambi another IIT alumni at Intel. Its ironic the racist trolls here are using the same technologies in their everyday life.........haha

[zeroxero111]

@MrSaboteur1

what about all the other chips ?

[Kushal952]

@MrSaboteur1

Which chip is that?

[MrSaboteur1]

@Kushal952 Its Pentium.

[sparoooow]

[sparoooow]
