MTNL to offer PCs Priced at only Rs. 4500

Economic Times has reported that besides offering landline, mobile and internet services, now MTNL will offer a PC with internet connection at a onetime payment of just Rs. 4500.

According to the publication, MTNL will initially sell low cost PCs in a partnership with Chennai-based Novatium in Delhi, the capital of India.

The news also says that this PC will look similar to other desktops, but does not contain a CPU unit or any storage devices. Rather, terminals will be connected to a centralized server in the locality by MTNL and provide it with the internet service. That means storage of data and all other applications are done by a centralized remote server.

Advantages of these PCs would be low cost of ownership and low maintenance. Thus, it is good news for people who cannot afford a steep PC.

We will report more details as soon as we get more information about this new and interesting concept of personal computers.
