Colonics unveiled three new laptop models in India. These models are called the Colonics CC11B, CC11A, and C314A. The CC11B is an 11-inch laptop that can be folded to form a tablet. While the CC11A has been designed especially for student use, the Comics C314A is water-resistant. While the Colonics CC11A sports an 11-inch display, the Comics C314A sports a 14-inch display. All three of them have a battery life of up to 8 hours. The company said that the laptops would be available for distribution from the second quarter of 2019.
M Sivasankar, Secretary IT, Chairman of KSITM, said, “Our vision of Colonics is to create a vibrant hardware manufacturing ecosystem in the state of Kerala. This includes collaboration between the innovative start-up companies and small and medium; IT enterprises both in the Government and Private sectors. This manufacturing ecosystem would, over a period of time, cater to the needs of Kerala, our country, and also to the global demand by producing hardware products of remarkable quality.”
Now to talk about the specifications of the three models. The Comics CC11B sports an 11-inch FHD IPS Display and is powered by Intel Celeron N3350. The laptop has 4GB RAM and comes with 64GB onboard storage. The CC11B runs Windows 10 OS and sports a metallic casing. The device also has USB-Type C and is very portable. As the company claims, the Comics CC11B is specially designed for frequent travelers. The Comics CC11A is powered by Intel Celeron N4000 and sports an 11-inch HD Display. The laptop has 2GB RAM, 64GB storage and operates on Windows 10.
Finally, the Conics C314A sports a 14-inch HD display and is powered by Intel i3 7100U. The device brings 4GB RAM and 500GB of internal storage. It runs on the Windows 10 operating system.
Alexander Varghese, CAO of UST Global, said, “We are excited about Colonics, India’s latest OEM/ODM, built-in line with Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. With the larger vision of creating a hardware ecosystem in Kerala, we intend to leverage our relationship with Intel to take this venture to the next level. We aim to utilize the unique partnership model with the government and the strong ESDM partners already available in the state to bring in more manufacturing to the country.”
These laptops will be aimed at first-time laptop users and will fall in the budget segment. We will not be surprised if we see the price of under Rs 20,000 for them.
