This is the first time Micromax, Microsoft and Intel have come together for a product. We did some hands on on the device and device looks impressive , priced at 14999/- Micromax targets the first time laptop buyers along with people like me who needs laptop and connectivity on the go. However, the road is not easy here as well Micromax will have to compete with established players such as hp, Dell, ASUS, Acer etc.
