Recently, Sichuan Sinomanic Technology revealed that the Loongson laptop specifically developed for primary and secondary school students has been designed and is about to enter small-scale sample production. The Sinomanic student laptop uses a 400MHz Loongson 1 processor (GS32I), 128M memory, a 10.2-inch color wide-screen LCD display, a 40G hard disk, and is equipped with a large number of study courseware, famous school tutoring materials, English-Chinese dictionaries, mathematical formulas, learning software, etc. "Sinomanic" means "Chinese chip".
The student laptop priced at 1998 yuan
Currently, the Loongson student laptop is in the testing phase. There are currently two designs for the appearance, targeting primary and secondary school students respectively. The Loongson student laptop is rich in learning functions, including English-Chinese translation electronic dictionaries, multi-subject study packages, tens of thousands of sets covering primary and secondary school textbooks, simulated test papers, simulated experiments, and has functions such as web browser internet access, chatting, email sending and receiving, electronic document reading, etc. In addition, Sinomanic Technology clearly stated that it will provide perfect product after-sales service, and has set up a special portal website for student laptops "Green Space", where domestic primary and secondary school students can learn knowledge online, download materials, communicate and share, and upgrade and update pre-installed learning tools, etc.
The price of the Loongson student laptop is determined to be 1998 yuan RMB. The small-scale sample production time is in January 2007, and then large-scale production and sales will be carried out in due course.

Chinese operating system
What operating system will the Loongson use? Will it be Linux or Windows? I believe many netizens will have such questions. But according to Sinomanic Technology, the Loongson laptop will use an operating system independently developed by Chinese people! The Loongson laptop thus becomes the first laptop computer with both hardware and software developed entirely by Chinese people.
Due to the reason that the Loongson processor uses the Loongson instruction set, it cannot directly use operating systems such as Windows and Linux. The test situations of well-known operating systems such as Debian Linux and Windows CE with the MIPS instruction set are also not very ideal. Therefore, Sinomanic specially developed the Sinomanic Future Alpha (Future α) operating system for the Loongson laptop. This system is a brand-new operating system kernel developed based on the second-generation microkernel, supports the Loongson instruction set, and introduces its own first-generation graphics interface.
Currently, the kernel code of this operating system is basically completed, which can greatly improve the processing capacity of the Loongson.
The Loongson laptop designed for middle school students has a more stable appearance, closer to the current common laptop computers.
