Computing Technology is very dynamic and surprising. I read a good thing in personal computing from the news feed. This is about the touted Ultra Low Cost Laptop from India. The Sakshat Laptop which reported to cost only $10 is a puzzling announcement.

Most of the people who would like to put a laptop to every house hold would be happy to hear this. But seeing it hitting the shelves is a thing to look forward. A few things are known regarding Sakshat Ultra Low Cost Laptop. This will have the usual Net book configuration like Wi-Fi, LAN, 2Gb RAM, and will use very little power of 2 watts.

The laptop price is lesser than the Microsoft Windows Vista License. Thus, it would most likely be running on open source Linux operating system. It remains to be seen whether this laptop will really take off the production line. No technical details on the processor, screen size, storage, and others has been released.

The low cost laptop could only be made possible through subsidy from Indian government. I am looking forward to buy this Sakshat Ultra Low Cost Laptop from India. The $10 laptop is an exciting piece of affordable computing gadget to watch.
