The $45 Windows Laptop

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

YokimaSun writes "The search for a cheap laptop has brought us news from India of a $10 laptop (which later turned out to be a hundred dollars). Today PC Gaming News has details of a laptop which is selling for a measly 45 dollars, what do you get for that, you get a netbook running windows embedded compact 7, 128 megs of ram, a via8505 processor and a 7 inch screen capable of 800x480 pixels resolution." I'm still waiting for my under $50 Macbook.

  1. $1200 is not a good price by Viol8 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I don't frankly care if something is 0.68 inches or 0.71 inches thick. Nor wether it has 1400 resolution which I won't be using anyway. What I do care about is an optical drive, plenty of USB slots and an ethernet port so I don't have to rely on shit Wifi reception when in an office or at home and can use a high speed cable instead.

    Oh , but it doesn't have that.

    Ultrabooks in general and Mac laptops specifically are nothing more than vanity machines for people with more money than sense.

    Mod me down apple fanboys, I care not and I have karma to burn.
