Zenith’s SmartStyle Personal Computer
Indian PC manufacturer Zenith Computer unveiled last week its latest offering, the SmartStyle PC. The SmartStyle PC sports a very radical design, and comes with a 17 inch LCD monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.
The CPU is engrafted behind the LCD. It’s possible to hang the monitor on the wall, or even attach it to a table top computer. That is pretty cool.
Configuration/Specs: The Zenith SmartStyle PC runs on an Intel Dual Core T2130 Processor and has an 80 GB hard disk and 1 GB RAM. Speakers are in-built, and networking slots are present. Though the SmartStyle PC lacks an optical drive, there’s a slot available to install any DVD burner.
The PC is expected to sell for about Rs. 20,000 and I must mention the configuration is pretty decent.
I know some of you’re going to say Mac has this sort of design (which is actually more professional-looking, agreed hands down), but this PC has a cheap price tag. I think this is a very good buy for anyone on a budget.
Have your say in the comments.
