The Classmate PCs are priced in the sub-Rs 18,000 range, and will be available to schools starting August, said Rajendra Kumar, executive vice president of HCL Infosystems.
Intel had conducted the first pilot of it's 'Classmate PC Program' in December 2006. At present, the company reportedly has two pilots running; one at Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, and the other at Padma Sheshadri Bal Bhavan.
Meanwhile, the design, prototype, and proof-of-concept of the Classmate PCs has been developed by Intel in collaboration with educational service provider, Educomp.
There are plans for Intel OEM partners, Wipro and Zenith to start offering the PCs shortly.

Intel will soon introduce 'Classmate', a PC for children priced between Rs 9,000-11,000, in India under its World Ahead programme, aimed at adding a billion new global computer users.
Two pilot projects with Classmate have been undertaken at DPS-Delhi and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS), Faridabad near Delhi.
"Classmate PCs are being piloted in 25 countries this year, including India, and are designed to be entry points in education, These PCs will not have a disk drive and use flash drive, but have all necessary software and hardware to enable learning and Internet browsing" explained Intel Corporation chief strategist, Chris S Thomas, said.
Classmate's manufacturing cost is US$ 300-400 and Intel looks to manufacture it locally in the range of US$ 200-300.
On affordability, Intel Corporation will work with the government to possibly provide tax sops to manufacturers to further push down the cost.
