Why don't we look at the fact that a 14" screen by itself is $300 or more dollars at the retail level. At least $100 on the OEM level in lots of many thousands. A Celeron M will likely outperform a Via C7. The only way to get the cost even down to something like $300 complete would be to have everything soldered on. As the Slashdot article discussion says you can be darn sure it is a scam. Now, if Woot were selling it.....
FWIW, even Dell and Walmart's lowest priced laptop is $450. Really can't take off more than $100 for Windows. Even the Asus eePC or whatever it is will cost $299. --- Fred James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim K wrote: > > >I just saw a $150 laptop, the *Medison Celebrity* > > > >see: http://www.medisoncelebrity.com/product.html > >www.2Checkout.com sells it, but it isn't listed right now, > >but their blog talks about it. > > I thought people on this list might be interested.
