Low cost Laptops

Make a series of Cheap Laptops for the Poor Nations.



In March we launched the new EC280 for Chinese Consumers. Not the laptop you are suggesting but a small desktop PC developed for first-time buyers and users seeking basic productivity, online and multimedia functionality. You can read more

03/12/07		 How About taking this idea one step further?
Just a USB Flash Drive with w/authentication (Finger Scan)
or an IPOD. (Or even the memory availlable in digital cameras)
Using PKI infastructure to connect this "Key"
to your "Hosted" disk drive via whatever connection is available
to you.

07/20/07		 In March we launched the new EC280 for Chinese Consumers. Not the laptop you are suggesting but a small desktop PC developed for first-time buyers and users seeking basic productivity, online and multimedia functionality. Right now, it is only sold in China, and the base configuration costs around $335 US dollars. The system was designed and developed by engineers at Dell's China Design Center located in Shanghai. You can read more here: http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/03/21/9047.aspx. We will give further thought to offering this product and/or others in other countries...so "kind of" implemented and we will review further
