Doel Laptop Computer


Laptop computers made in Bangladesh? Yes, it is happening and at an affordable price. We have been hearing about US$100 laptops for developing nations for a long time. It's a reality now, for at least Bangladesh - few models of Doel brand laptop computers will soon be available to the masses for starting price of just over US$100. This is of course a major stride towards "Digital Bangladesh" phraseword that we have been hearing from the current government. This is a result of government backed joint collaboration between Bangladesh Telephone Shilpa Sangstha Limited and Malaysis Thina Film Transistor. Perhaps these laptops will be be able to capture markets of other developing nations and we will see these in use from all the way from Netrokona to Niger Delta. I also hope to see this opening up a whole new export market of Bangladesh made quality computer parts at an affordable price.

RFL Plastic Chair


Plastic chairs were not even available when many of us were growing up in Bangladesh. Now they are all over and are very affordable. RFL brand is definitely on top of the list now when it comes to these plastic products. I have not seen them in Wal-Mart or other major retailers in America yet but their quality products hopefully will end up in the western market.

Nike Men's Polo Shirt

You didn't think Nike was also made in Bangladesh? Oh yes, they are made there and made very well. I wore this Polo/Tennis shirt many times and it went through wash countless times before it ended up in Goodwill stores.
