$100 laptop dream

Filed under: Tech news — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:28 am

Laptops are getting cheaper and cheaper day by day, but not as cheap as $100. Although, non-profit US organization OLPC – ‘One laptop per child’ is working towards research of this so that they can give these cheap laptops to third world countries. OLPC has backing of giants like google, eBay, Microsoft, AMD, Red hat, etc. I don’t understand why you actually form organization on pre-stage. People are working hard to create things cheaper and i see no way OLPC making this process faster. Its useless to form OLPC. Let the first $100 laptops be developed and then form organization. Although efforts are there in this direction to make these $100 laptops and everything right from screen to RAM to hard drive would be compromised (its natural for $100).

I suppose it will take another half decade for $100 laptops to come into existence. At present, cheapest laptops are available at $500.
