An accessible low cost Ultra Mobile pc: the HCL MiLeap

Posted at 4:43 am under In India,Vision

I took a look at the HCL MiLeap ultra mobile PC. The screen is just 7 inches wide and the keys resemble those of a calculator. The PC is similar in size to those fat exercise books one used to carry in school. I am not talking about registers here but those fat books between small copies and large registers. You can’t really feel the weight of the machine. I even tried installing a screen reader namely Jaws for Windows on it. The installation took a lot of time but in a brief test, the screen reader behaved as it was supposed to. I then tried the vOICe which was why I was looking at Ultra Mobile PC(s) in the first place. That worked too. All in all, the MiLeap is a good option for any one looking for a light weight laptop. I wish it were smaller so that it could fit into my pocket. The model for Rs. 17500 (approximately) comes with LINUX. You can get Windows XP loaded on to it for a small fee. My tests in the shop were done on a MiLeap Y series laptop which is around Rs. 35000.

I was impressed with the prompt presales service of HCL and the patience of the staff who allowed me to test my programs on their computers.
