Few days back Reliance launched new mobiles for just Rs 777 which is equal to $18.9 and now Indian Human Resources Ministry has planned to launch a laptop for just Rs 420 or just $ 10 . Human Resources department is working seriously on this project and if the target is achieved than every one will have his own laptop . Ministry has taken people from Indian IITs institutes , IISc science institutes and VIT vellore institute of technology .

    This laptop will be an Operating System using Linux and it will support all Word-related applications, a web browser and MP3 capability . Chips will be manufactures by Chandigarh Semiconductor Complex Ltd (SCL) . These laptop might use flash memory with 2GB space in the place of a hard disc for storage and the motherboard will be one-fourth in size comparing others available in the market.

    By doing all this ministry thinks that the cost will come down considerably and churn out close to a million laptops, catering to e-governance initiatives and school children. News via msn.com .
