The low price tag of Rs 9,990 makes everything an acceptable compromise, especially for those who do nothing but chat,e-mail and surf all day,or for schools and educational institutions.
One PC Per Child Anyone?
The eSys Sub 10K Fighter PC is a minimal desktop PC that is aimed at people with the most basic of needs. The configuration of the PC isn’t hot—no dual-core processors or even an entry level graphics card on it. The processor is a 939-pin AMD Sempron 3000 on a VIA K8M800-based motherboard that has everything integrated.
The performance is as low as we expected—3DMark 2005 churned out a score of 1618—pathetic. Even a basic PCI-E graphics card would have helped—and the motherboard only has an AGP slot for expansion. HD (1080p) videos were unwatchable, and the lack of a dual-core processor means that video encoding performance also takes a big hit—almost double the time of what an entry level dual core processor would take.
The cabinet is fairly small, but sturdy. Still, it’s quite obvious that quality wasn’t the highest priority when this PC was built. If looks aren’t important to you, you will be fine with the cabinet, but the monitor will still embarrass you.
One could use the “what do you expect for that price” analogy,but the bottom line is that it could use a little design love.
The low price tag of Rs 9,990 makes everything an acceptable compromise, especially for those who do nothing but chat,e-mail and surf all day,or for schools and educational institutions.
