Bangalore: IT
bellwether Wipro Infotech Tuesday unveiled what it claimed to be
India's first and slimmest ultrabook for the domestic market
spanning enterprise and retail segments.
Powered by the second generation Intel core i5 processors and
11.6-inch light emitting diode (LED) high definition (HD) display,
the 14-inch e.go Aero Ultrabook is a mobile computing device
designed, developed and manufactured to suit every Indian
customer's need.
"The e.go is a high-tech product for the progressive Indian on the
move. We recognise that there is an increasing need for a
light-weight, powerful yet affordable laptops," Wipro Systems and
Technology business head Ashok Tripathy told reporters here.
Weighing 1.7 kg and packed with 4 gigabyte (GB) and 500GB hard
disk, the notebooks in three ranges - Aero Alpha, Aero Book and
Aero Ultra - are priced between Rs.39,000 and Rs.49,000 for
different configurations.
The portable notebook is pre-loaded with Windows 7 and MS Office
Starter and boasts of an isolation keyboard and a touch pad.
"The product is a result of cooperation between Intel and Wipro on
Ultrabook devices, incorporating revolutionary technologies such
as rapid start, smart response and smart connect to enable an
always connected state," Intel South Asia managing director for
sales Debjani Ghosh said at the product preview.
As an efficient, optimal and light notebook, Aero Alpha notebook
is designed for everyday workloads, while Aero Book is for those
who value style and substance and Aero Ultra is ideal for those
wanting to be always connected and have mobility on the go.
"Ultrabooks offer a secure, immersive and responsive user
experience and deliver mobility in thin, light and elegant form
factors for personal computing," Ghosh said.
Though global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have already
launched similar ultrabooks worldwide, Wipro is betting on the
underlying potential for its version of ultrabook as the younger
generation is growing with technology as a way of life.
"We see the market share of notebooks doubling up in the next 12
months to 10 percent in the overall personal computers (PCs) sales
and sustaining the growth due to faster penetration, adoption and
increasing use by government organisations," Tripathy noted.
As a business unit of the $7-billion global software major, Wipro
Infotech also markets its range of hardware and software products
in the Gulf region and Africa.
