32GB = 500GB, theme song in the mouth of most students as regards the PB hev (Paul Biya's higher educational vision) laptops. The laptops have gone trending more especially on the shelves of shops and online sales groups.
for a student who does computer based activities such as cartography, the pb hev has little or totally no value to him.
Firstly, the storage space is not enough to support the required softwares needed by this student for his activities and projects.
Secondly, the resolution of the screen is so small and renders computerization with great apps a problem. As such, the pb hev is seen as an almost invaluable material to some.
To others, the pb hev is all that they could ever need. They are so contented with having it and just can not ask for more. Their works of typing that usually took place only in documentations can now be carried out by the without having to moving except for printing purposes.
Talking about the virtual 500GB space in a country such as cameroon where Internet connection is paid with a tooth won't be easy with the students. They just can not bare the extra costs.
The limitations of this computer has caused students to sell them out massively at almost miserable prices as compared to what the state says she spent in acquiring the machines.
The prices often range from as low as 15000frs for the ones that come with system problems, to about 35000frs for the ones that a in good state and functioning. This has easily transfered the pb hev from a student affair to a cameroonian affair.
If care is not taken, the amount of pbhevs that will end up in private hands will largely surpass those possessed by students as a majority of them would have sold them all out.
