HP Compares
January 24th, 2009 | by admin |They also have two USB ports, speakers, a built-in modem, an Ethernet port, and a 10. 4 inch thin film transistor screen. HP began selling those laptops as part of a Thai government-led initiative to give the public access to affordable computers. The Thai government set the brand name, price and feature requirements of the laptops.
Local press reported that over 19,300 computers were booked on the first day of the program. The Bangkok Post said in its online edition last week that demand was so high that the Thai government feared that HP could not keep up with the orders.
Another Thai newspaper even said that Dell Computer Thailand and the Association of Thai Computer Manufacturers could be in line to pick up production. HP declined to say exactly how many of the computers it is producing, adding that it is still in talks with directors of the Thai government sponsored program.
HP said the laptops can also be bundled with an HP Deskjet 3325 printer valued at about 72 dollars.
Now a worthy competitor with iMac comes the winbook laptop with all the trimmings.
