Laptop for $ 150?!
Filed Under Linux, news | Leave a Comment
Everybody know about OLPC (one laptop per child) – it is really popular project offering laptop like device for the children of developing countries for about $100.
Several other companies build concurrent projects:
- Intel – Classmate PC
- Asus – Eee PC 701 ~ $ 200
Now there is new player on the market Meddison Celebrity offering a Linux laptop for $150 + shipping and taxes.
From company news it seems that it is manufactured in Brazil.
ATTENTION: I’m not affiliate with the company and cannot guarantee anything. There is proverbe: “It’s too good to be true”. Be careful since there is no phone number on their contact page and delivery time is very extended 4-6 weeks + they cannot guarantee that the price will not change. If this is a scam we will know maybe in 3-6 months when first laptops are delivered (or not).
