A PC for Rs 499 a month

NEW DELHI: In a bid to make PCs more affordable for the Indian homes, HCL Infosystems and the Union Bank of India recently entered into a partnership to make available HCL Ezeebee PC at an Equal Monthly Installments (EMI) of Rs 499. This offer is available on an Ezeebee PC with Pentium 4 and Intel's Hyper Threading Technology.

HCL Infosystems, Chairman and CEO, Ajai Chowdhry, said, "It is our ultimate dream to see a computer in every Indian home. I am confident the offer introduced today will go a long way in making this endeavor successful. If it is the cost of acquisition of a personal computer that stops an Indian from owning a computer, then HCL has taken the responsibility of providing the best financial deal possible, thereby empowering more and more consumers with the power of computing."

This branded PC at Rs 499 per month is targeted at making the PC an affordable commodity in Indian homes. "A quality PC backed by an impressive customer support available across the country is another step from HCL Infosystems in increasing PC penetration in the country. A wide reaching multi-media campaign is being released to inform about this new initiative," informed a press statement from the company.

This scheme has a host of other models with different configurations available, thereby giving consumers a wide option to choose from.
