India develops world's cheapest "laptop" at $35
Quote: India has come up with the world's cheapest "laptop," a touch-screen computing device that costs $35.
India's Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal this week unveiled the low-cost computing device that is designed for students, saying his department had started talks with global manufacturers to start mass production.
"We have reached a (developmental) stage that today, the motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything," he told a news conference.

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! | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built, Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop
