Airtel launched its new thin client , a cloud computing based computer which is cheap and can be a good point for first time PC buyer and also for those who want just basic computer and net surfing with low cost. The new computer from Airtel is called as "Airtel Net PC" is powered by Microsoft Windows XP and Nivio online storage. It provides 10 GB of online storage which means that don't have to worry about data security as data is 100% secure.
It is priced at Rs. 7,999 which comes with 15" LCD Monitor, keyboard, mouse and Nivio companion (which enables the PC to connect to a backend Linux-run server for storage and applications). There is also option to buy this package without Monitor for Rs. 4,999 . This device consume only 4 to 5 watt of energy thus making it an energy efficient gadget. However,I think company is not counting Monitor in it.
The hardware and software (genuine Windows XP) for the Net PC will be provided by Nivio and Airtel will provide the internet connection.
