I remember my first pc, a Intel DX 33 with 170MB HDD and 2 MB RAM running Win 3.1. While Word and Excel weren't very flashy, I did not think of it as slow. It did everything I wanted and I kept working with it untill 1998, since I did not have a lot of money (was still a HJigh School student back then).
The intel Atom with 800 MHz uses 0,65 Watt. Using a slower processor, say 200 MHz, you could get as low as 0,15 Watt. Add some flash memory (the Indian pc won't have a HDD) and a slow Display, and voila: a cheap pc capable of running all essential programs. And now imagine that in hands of people who wouldn't ever have been able to afford a different computer... |
