The hundred dollar computer?

While the evasive $100 computer remains a pipe dream in the research community, Chaupaati’s dealers have been selling them aplenty for many months now! Computers are income opportunities in India. Renting out computers for access to applications such as data entry, resume building, gaming, photos, e-mails, Internet, mobile downloads, chatting, etc. make it an alternate income opportunity for urban slumdwellers. The progressive urbanites also recognize the role of the computer in secondary and higher education of their kids, thus resulting in job opportunities as knowledge workers at the call centers, back offices, small offices, etc. These jobs pay higher than traditional jobs, bear higher social status, and have better working conditions. Given the income growth at the urban bottom-of-pyramid, share-of-wallet growth in education and the growth in youth population; Rs.5,000 ($100) is a magic number that now makes the computer a popular item amongst a large number of consumers.

Here are 10 selected deals available on Chaupaati for computers under Rs.5,000.
