i've watched Buletin Utama just now, there is new low end pc launched by Pak Lah (something like tablet PC).. Anyone got any idea about the spec could be? can it compete with asus eee pc?
 price should be below rm600 as announce at buletin utama QUOTE Mimos to launch low-end PC for Malaysians A HOME-GROWN personal computer (PC) for the masses will make its debut early next year when Mimos Bhd launches a tablet PC. It is learnt that the low-end PC, which is meant for use by housewives and in schools, will have Internet access and will come in two models. It will also have voice-activated features where the PC's terminal can be used as a telephone and users will also be able to email. The project is said to be a brainchild of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who had instructed Mimos to introduce an affordable computer to bridge the digital divide. "The high-end model of the PC, which is meant for use in schools will be priced at below US$300 (RM1,008), while the lower-end one for homes will cost less than US$100 (RM336)," industry sources told Business Times. It is learnt that the concept of the new PC will be unveiled to the Prime Minister next week during the National Innovation Conference and Exhibition at the Putra World Trade Centre. The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Mosti) is said to be collaborating with technology partners in Taiwan and India for the affordable PC project. Sources say that the proof of concept for the PC has already been carried out by Mimos and it will soon submit this to the Economic Planning Unit in the Prime Minister's Department for implementation. The project is expected to be linked to Mosti's 'K-School' programme, which was launched early this year. The 'K-School' project is aimed at improving education delivery and school administration through information and communications technology-based systems and tools to ensure Malaysia's long-term competitiveness in the knowledge-economy. Sekolah Menengah Agama Bukit Ibam in Pahang was chosen as the pilot site for the project to ensure that religious-based schools in the rural areas are not left behind in technological advancement. http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIM...MI.xml/Article/ the only article that i can find out about this "makcik pc"... what a name  This post has been edited by syazone: Nov 30 2007, 09:22 PM |

Few years back HICOM group (if I'm not mistaken) introduces KOMNAS which only cost around RM1,500 around that time for housewives and schoolchildren. Can browse Internet and do some Office works. Not using windows, got own OS. It suxx btw, that cash can be invest in better custom PC. The sam thing with this ' mak cik'. Add few more dollars and you'll have much much better custom made PC.

It's using SSD though. well anyway here's the 4GB disk space version http://www.asus.com.tw/products.aspx?l1=24...907&modelmenu=2 btw people, stop spamming. please discuss properly. now the EEE PC is low in specs but have been running Linux Xandros and users are raving about how responsive it is. I've personally tested it and found it to be damn nice. and quit comparing it with desktops and whatever GC you have. now the price they set is nice, however my concern would be 1. quality 2. support |

QUOTE(nelienuxe_sara @ Dec 1 2007, 03:55 AM) pure studying pc only... - Read Goldfries post above. Only real discussion and not one liner spamcant install games haha - It's not for entertainment. I don't know about you but a PC is for WORK. Only Malaysians can mistake PC for an entertainment device. - @angelic-x: I'm using a 14" monitor. So? - @zeustronic: everything is relative. High end here means that it's more powerful than the USD100 version. Personally, this is a good project ecspecially if this can be done in the kampung area. I'd done a similar project for my village earlier this year with the help of Machang Parliment rep, where we provided the Balai Raya with several PCs for the folk to use there. It goes quite well until a recent flood shortcircuited some. |

Only Malaysians can mistake PC for an entertainment device. i like this part. there's something about 'electronic device = entertainment' mindset here. IMO the true value of a PC is in it's work ability - to communicate and to gather information. |

the storage space would be a main concern... since it is only 2GB, after installation of the OS, the space left might not be able to cater the other programs and the data that is needed to be stored.
