  1. And the USD 100 laptop is likely to cost USD 175!

    Shouldn’t we look closer to home: http://www.lirneasia.net/2007/05/indias-usd-100-computer/?

  2. Lets reduce Ministers of parliament by 50% and invest that money to give laptops to all the schools in Sri Lanaka……………..this one is a very cheap alternative for books since all the text books could be stored as e-books inside the laptop,very good for poor people

  4. Million Dollar Question

    Is there any condition from the manufacturers of 100USD laptops to order minimum one million units to a country if a country wants to purchase these low cost laptops? Can someone enlighten us on this?
