No, it doesn't

And E17 is very much featureless tho its very promising

@infra, cloudbook exists, and it is out of stock, you can check out on the official site

and talking about the Everex gPC, Indian manufacturers pwned these guys.

Remember seeing the Ad in between pages 25-26 on digit this february ? eSys made an excellent VFM PC for 10k thats much cheaper than the same config assembled, and it uses Ubuntu instead of gOS. With Pentium Dual Core E3160 + 2gig ddr667 ram + intel 945g mobo + 200GB HDD + mouse.keyboard + cabinet + speakers at 10k, its a steal.

dunno. read february digit. I heard they have several retailers here. As you are in Mumbai, you can easily find one of those desktops.

But I think it may even be a typo. Though the prices seemed to be realistic as far as the price difference between models were concerned, the same stuff on their website were qouoted at 24k-36k

gPC is actually a "green PC", the power consumption is comparable to a laptop (slightly higher without display).

And 10k for that config???? Not possible as of today. Its surely a typo

hellknight · 16-02-2008, 11:19 AM

@ infra, so that means only orders are booked. On the other hand I downloaded gOS, it only looks better on web, not good if you're addicted to openSUSE and Ubuntu!!

infra_red_dude · 16-02-2008, 03:48 PM

^^^ Yep
