That's pretty interesting but since they don't give any real details and don't even have a working prototype it is vaporware for the time being. The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Foundation has been trying for years to develop a $100 laptop but their current (shipping) model costs $199. I'm sure if countries or schools buy large quantities the cost per unit goes down.
However the thought of a laptop at a price of $35 is very intriguing!

Think it's all very well having components at $35, but if at that price the goods are likely to be just thrown away once they have been finished with which wont be good for the enviroment.
