Bangladesh recently released Doel Laptop. Technologically, the world is growing very fast. However, developing nations are still far behind from using their own technology. In this regard, Bangladesh government takes a big step to advance IT knowledge with domestically made cheap laptop.
Right now, the Doel Laptop is available in the market with price around 12,000tk or $180. This is truly good news for Bangladeshi people. I am sure this step will bring Bangladesh one step ahead to educate their students with IT knowledge.
Bangladesh has revealed a locally designed laptop computer which authorities claim is probably the least expensive on earth.
The state-owned telecommunications firm Telephone Shilpa Sangstha (TSS) is making 4 types of the laptop. The standard one is costing 10,000 taka ($130/£83), however, the price of the Doel Laptop may vary little after marketing the product in the market. The primarily model operates the Google android operating-system.
“This is really massive action in the direction of developing a digital Bangladesh. As soon as villages receive Doel Laptop at a less costly, they’ll be attached to the online which will bring plenty of advantages,” TSS MD Mohammad Ismail shared with the BBC.
At first, laptop is going to be dispersed to numerous gov departments. However, afterwards, they’ll be distributed around the general public and to millions of students.
Nevertheless, the nation’s internet online connectivity stays in poor and experts have raised doubts if the submission of notebooks alone can help the nation for connecting digitally. The federal government has released and committed plan, referred to as Digital Bangladesh, using the purpose of digitally linking the nation by 2021.
Hope, all people will happily receive Doel Laptop and can use in their daily life to meet their tech need.
