Venezuelan government to sell Linux-based computers
The Venezuelan government has officially launched the Bolivarian Computer initiative, a project that aims to mass-produce low-cost Linux-based laptop and desktop computers for use in government programs and eventual sale to the public. The computers, which are all being manufactured in Venezuela in the state of Falcon, were developed by Venezuela’s Ministry of Light, Industry, and Commerce in collaboration with the Hong Kong-based Inspur Group.
Pricing ranges from $405 to $1,400 for various models depending on the hardware configuration. “The price of other similar brands is $930, and the price of our computer is $690, almost 40 percent less,” says Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, describing one particular model. “But, in addition, it has an added value, given that it comes with open-source software and a three-year guarantee, while other brands only offer one year.”
