All the little brilliant young minds and budding CG experts in UK can afford to hone their early skills on this cute yet effective gadget which suit them perfectly well. Intel’s Classmate PC is now all set to take over UK and it is expected to do pretty well on the British soil too. Intel’s kid-friendly cut-price computer concept has come to the UK courtesy of local supplier Actronix. It is wonderful to see Intel spread the joy across the Atlantic by taking this cute little gadget there. Of course, this would also help Intel immensely with a wide customer base to cash in on.
Dubbed the JumPC, the Small, Cheap Computer is based on a 900MHz Intel Celeron Mobile processor and the chip giant’s 915GMS chipset. It has 512MB of DDR 2 memory on board and 2GB of Flash storage - though you can select a 30GB HDD instead. The unit has an Eee PC-style 7in, 800 x 480 display; two USB ports; 10/100Mb/s Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.
Now if all that is not sufficient then there is a webcam too for the photographic delight. It ships with Windows XP Home Edition pre-loaded, and Actronix is also bundling EasyBits’ Magic Desktop software to provide a more straightforward, child-oriented UI to the laptop’s features. An integrated handle makes it easy for the tiny hands to lug the laptop around. At £239 it is a wonderful buy and a great gift way before Christmas!
