India's first Ultra Portable laptop by HCL for less than Rs. 14,000

HCL Infosystems has launched ‘MiLeap’ India’s first full functional, ultra portable range of laptops that promises to offer mobile internet computing experience starting from Rs 13,990.

MiLeap runs on Ubuntu, and ITVidya member Amit Karpe worked on the porting of Ubuntu on this Leaptop.

Ajai Chowdhry, Chairman & CEO, HCL Infosystems Ltd, said, “HCL is proud of its strong heritage of leading the technology revolution in India. With a legacy of having pioneered India’s first micro-computer, the country’s first desktop PC and the first home PC, at HCL it’s always been our endeavor to create technologies that touches lives. This revolutionary new range of Ultra Portable ‘MiLeap’ Leaptops will herald in a new category of computing devices, opening up a wide range of new usage scenarios and application areas.”

I will probably buy this, though I am presently quite happy with my Sony Ericsson P1i, for on the move internet and email access.

Good to see another low priced product launch this week in India after the much talked about Tata Nano car.
