The rise of the low-cost laptop
- josefresco 18y agoHow about a $600 laptop for the "rich" world with $200 going towards the production of a low cost laptop for the "poor" world. Would be some good PR for HP/Dell whoever and the cost is still low for the average US/EU consumer.
- jcl 18y agoI'm not sure it would work, if only for the message it sends: "Buy a nice laptop for yourself, send an inferior one to someone less fortunate." I realize the end-user benefit is the same as the OLPC's Give-One-Get-One program, but the equality of G1G1 seems more appealing.
