Sichuan based computer maker Sinomanic launched production of a series of low-end computers for the less developed regions in China. Priced as low as 998RMB ($130), these computers will include a Linux operating system, MIPS processor, multimedia and network supports. Internet browsing and document processing software will also be packaged into these systems.

In addition, the company also announced partnerships with computer parts manufacturers such as injection molding company Changhong to further reduce the production costs of these computers. Pearl Research, parent company of Redline China, believes the launch of low-cost computing solutions will speed up the rapidly growing adoption of the Internet in China. Source: 163.com
