This Tablet ranges from 2,500 Rs to 1,700 Rs but for students it is being given with even discount price. If the order of this tablet's increase then the cost of the PC would even further drop.

This wold not be as fast as your Apple iPad or Amazon Kindle but it would surely give you their features at a slower speed. And you dont need to wait months and months for its entry into the market as we do for apple or other products as it is all set to hit the markets in November of this year.If you are not a student you can still buy it for somewhere around 3,000 Rs. It would come into the markets with a brand name Ubislate. This tablet can also be used to play games and surf videos through internet.
