Vikram Redlapalli, founder and managing director, RDP Workstations Pvt. Ltd said that it plans to sell 30,000 to 40,000 devices during the current financial year.
He said despite the low cost, the features of the RDP ThinBook had not been compromised. It can be used for education and for all basic and above basic applications.
The company plans to come out with more powerful variants of the RDP ThinBook, which was designed in Hyderabad but manufactured in Taiwan.
Vikram is confident of further bringing down the cost by manufacturing the device in Telangana by availing the incentives the state offers.
Incorporated in 2012, the company started manufacturing low-cost computing devices called Thinkline using server based computing system instead of conventional personal computer and later expanded to mini PCs, catering to corporate and small and medium businesses.
"This is our first product in consumer space. We see a huge potential in affordable computing devices," he said.

The company, which so far invested $7-8 million, had revenues of $4 million during the last financial year.
