A PC for as low as P10,800? Would you get one?
Intel, along with Commission for Information and Communications Technology (CICT), announced today a low-cost PC dubbed as Nettop ng Bayan 2.0.
The updated version of the Nettop ng Bayan (thus the 2.0) is aimed at first-time PC buyers especially those who don’t want to spend much for a PC that’s only going to be used for surfing the web or other online activities.
The P10,800 Nettop ng Bayan 2.0 will have the basic specs of:
- Intel Atom Processor
- 80GB Hardisk
- 1GB Memory
- Keyboard and Mouse
- LCD Monitor
There’s no OS included nor an optical drive at that price but dealers can give you options to have them as well as upgrade some parts such as HD, memory, internet plan, etc.
The chassis and monitor size may differ between dealers but the listed specs are the basic that they agreed with Intel to sell for P10,800.
