good news! what are price range?

They have variety of options from low end to high end Laptops. Starting from BDT 20 thousands to BDT 60 thousands.

There high end models are armed with 7'th generation Intel core processors with GPU and DR3/4 RAM, SDD/HDD.They also offers licensed MS Windows OS for a fraction of the cost. Very Cheap and affordable for such configuration, I must say.

After recent mobile phone manufacturing plant another big milestone for Walton. If they go like this i hope this company will be one of the leading electronic product manufacturer in the world by 2050. They have the potential.....
They have 170 million local market right now..... They have to utilize this opportunity..

They already make tablets, though I'm not sure if all components are fully made here.

Walton must focus on quality. If they can, they can wipe others from the market specially in budget offerings. Good going Walton !
