Re: [pakgrid] Pakistan Made PAC PAD

 

Thanks all for your comments and providing the link to purchase.



However, I doubt if we can really purchase it online and get it delivered overseas. This portal  http://www.cpmc.pk/place-your-order-2/ does not even provide to specify a country and concentrates more about your job role.

I purchased the cheapest one from  http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170762354526?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 a few months ago for my kid but found it fairly poor quality in terms of touch screen and response time. Comparing this with PAC PAD, it has almost similar specification except the processor type (IMAPx210 and ARM11) but price looks around 5 times low. So, its not a bad deal at all.

Regarding warranty and support, considering low priced product, it doesn't really matter as long as it is working when it is delivered.

Cheers,

I very much doubt they will be able to provide post sales support as is expected from overseas company. My hunch is it will fade into distant memory in 6 months. The bottom line is it takes lot of resources past sales.
I hope I am dead wrong.
Good Luck

Thanks Ahmad for pointing out such a great piece of information. In my opinion Punjab government should replace laptop with tablet PC to students preferably with home made. Clearly tablets PCs are feature devices and it will be great if our kids are already trained on them.

I'm equally disappointed by Jahan Ara's view (if its true), we give them a lot of public money and we deserve some thing out of it other then weapons but I do agree it should be done under a spin off rather then PAC. if regularity is a problem that's a totally different issue
