He also mentions that no matter how many smart phones takes birth, ultimately laptop is the savior. He quoted,’ There can be supplementary devices, but when it comes to real utility, perhaps even today, what we can do on a laptop is much higher than what one can achieve using a smart phone and as far as usage, productivity and compatibility goes, a Windows device is the most useful one. Whether you want it for learning or for business, Windows is almost like a de-facto standard. Also, we wanted to present this as an affordable solution to the consumers, thus a sub 10k laptop.’
