The $15 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| But back to the $15 laptop. I've had excellent luck so far. Your
| mileage may vary if you purchase one from Lots of Laptops, and at
| this point I'd still recommend Craigslist, since you can at least
| see and try to boot the thing before you buy.

| meant for a minimum of 64 MB of RAM. So far it works really,
| really well. It's a bit more complex than Puppy or DSL.

Low-Cost Laptop Project Ramps Up Production

| By the end of the year, One Laptop Per Child should be manufacturing
| about one million computers per month, according to Mr. Negroponte.
| And as the project has grown stronger on the assembly line, it has
| fought to keep production costs down. The OLPC machine has been
| widely billed as a ?$100 laptop,? but its current cost has
| actually swollen to about $176, Mr. Negroponte said, though he
| added that the laptop's price tag could be down to $100 by 2009.
