MADE in China
Microsoft/iDSA Next Gen PC Design Contest
Bill Gate's Top Award (Chairman's Award)
 

 

 

MADE in China spreads the use of PC to the entire 1.3 billion population of this rapidly-developing nation. It revolutionizes the entire hardware & software structure of today to achieve holistic benefits - for consumers, manufacturers and the environment.
 

 






The Most Ambitious Design
AARIVE gave it their best shot and sent in the most ambitious idea - a design which targets 1.3 billion population. It is Simple, Affordable, Profitable, & Environmental - all without compromising the performance, aesthetic, & convenience of a PC. The oriental cutlery aesthetics makes PC more familiar to the Chinese market while making a visual statement that PC is as essential as having three-meals-a-day. The inclusion of CHOPstylus extends the ancient Chinese tradition of chopsticks to the next level of use.
