$150 Linux Laptop for the Masses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the on-the-cheap dept.

Xemu writes "Inspired by Negroponte's laptop for children, the Swedish company Medison is now taking orders for their US$150 Linux laptop, the Medison Celebrity. The laptop is a 1.5 GHz Celeron M 370 with 14 inch screen, wireless network and it comes with Fedora Red Hat pre-installed." Update 2035 GMT by SM: As many readers have pointed out, the more you dig into the details of this company the more fishy it starts to seem. I would suggest any potential buyers be wary on this one.

    It'll run XP with a ram upgrade to 512MB, but it will never run Vista with that CPU and GPU. That would be like using a compact pickup as the cab of a tractor trailer.
