Default Very cool $100 Computer

This is a pretty cool looking little laptop. It is designed to be tough and durable and compact..



And it’s all made for under 100$ around £57, It’s definitely not a gaming laptop but you would probably know seeing its size, I think its better to use Linux on these kinds of machines, what are you thoughts?

The Linux-based machines are expected to have a 500MHz processor, with flash memory instead of a hard drive which has more delicate moving parts.

Mock-up of the sub-$100 laptop
The laptop will be more rugged and flexible than ordinary ones
They will have four USB ports, and will be able to connect to the net through wi-fi - wireless net technology - and will be able to share data easily.

It will also have a dual-mode display so that it can still be used in varying light conditions outside. It will be a colour display, but users will be able to switch easily to monochrome mode so that it can be viewed in bright sunlight, at four times normal resolution.
