So China has produced a laptop that most people can afford..It will cost $150.00 ..It's called the linux municator..
I am putting the exact description below..What are you thoughts?:
"Here’s yet another thorn in Microsoft’s feet, with Bill Gates still struggling to get out of the scaring bubble created by MIT’s $100 computer - a 146$ Linux computer (Thinix OS) from China. It’ll do everything for an average system user from browsing (firefox), emailing (thunderbird), instant messaging (gaim), skype, word processing (Red Office) to audio/video playback (mplayer).
Along with an upgradable software, the 400 grams system features a 40GB HDD, a 400mhz/800mhz Godson 2C processor, 256MB RAM, 4 USB2 ports, VGA-output, PS2 input, TV-output."
Will you buy one?

I probably won't buy one as I already have a laptop that was given to me and my PC. However I think it is a great thing, that Microsoft are being shown that people aren't going to just buy their products without thinking.

Looks good to me, I'll have to do a search on the net to check it out. I am looking for a laptop to use with a linux disto.
Does anyone know offhand if it would run Ubuntu.
