Would you pay $10 for a laptop?
I heard that looks to produce world's first $10 laptop.
The Times of India reported last month that the efforts thus far have yielded designs for a laptop that would cost about $47, while a $10 system remains the ultimate goal.
Please tell me is it truth?? |

I don't think I'll buy a laptop that can only do basic word processing and stuff like that, even if it's only $10.

If you are pointing to OLPC, One Laptop Per Child will not be on sale. They will only sell it to government for education purposes, and as I know, the price is $100 each at first and then increased to $140 due to cost. The laptop specification is not bad, as it will not hang on notepad lol, but definitely on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Maybe $10 laptop with wifi is cool, i will buy dozens, yes and lan it to play microsoft flight simulator

Really? But too far apart, except Microsoft Flight Simulation X and that game is a beast! It requires 2 quad-core computers to run it at full settings with the latest graphic card. By the way, did maverick built his own cockpit?
