He was speaking at the launch of Panora EX 2, a PC featuring the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

The Minister said that Panora has been involved in the Asian Development Bank (ADB) funded, Secondary Education Modernisation Project of Sri Lanka through which over 4,500 Panora PCs have been provided to schools in the island, and that it is a significant achievement for a Sri Lankan company to compete with global IT giants and win this tender.

This makes the Panora EX 2 the ideal PC for any office or home environment in today's energy scarce world", Sales Director of Intel Corporation for the Asia Pacific Region, Markus Lou said.
