Sub-$100 Laptops Have Finally Arrived
Found on Slashdot on Thursday, 04 September 2008
HiVision has managed to create a UMPC that sells right now for $120.00. They say they have refined the manufacturing process and have learned from building this laptop how to mass produce a laptop that will sell for $98.00.
MIPS based processor, WiFi, 1GB flash storage, it runs Linux, has 3 USB ports, Ethernet, SDHC card reader, audio in and out, multi-tabbed Firefox browser support and Abiword for word processing. Running a custom Chinese Linux distrubution named Xip.
Sounds interesting, even though it comes from China. It will probably be of low quality and explode randomly.
