“When I first saw it my first thought was that Zinox has released a comparable laptop to the Macbook and are introducing it a lower price point.”

You’re right - Should have thought about that one:-)

I would like to start by saying I have been following your blog for quite sometime and I’m quite impressed by what you are doing and what you aim to achieve. It is time we (Nigerians and Africans in general) reduce our reliance on foreign manufactured products and support our own. Our reliance on imported products has the potential to cripple our economy in that the dollar continues to strengthen against the Naira which common sense will tell you it eventually will trickle down to the consumers.

Zinox is on the right track with the release of the laptops, they are a relatively young company and for them to have gotten this for is a sign of better things to come. What all should remember is companies like Apple, Acre, Dell, HP etc have been around for decades and have learned from their mistakes. If you look into each companies history you will see, their first few product releases where really not anything to write home about and on top of that extremely over priced.

With that said, Loy I have a bone to pick with you. “If you can’t by a macbook get a Zinox… instead?” I know it’s a way of attracting attention to the post but damn! When I first saw it my first thought was that Zinox has released a comparable laptop to the Macbook and are introducing it a lower price point.

Anyways no need crying over spilled milk, much respect to you. Hopefully one of my upcoming projects will be featured here. Shameless plug by the way!

Cheers!
