I had a similar device in my hands 15 years ago in Thailand, with the company making it trying to find a market when OLPC was getting all the press. It was a netbook with a low power 386 compatible CPU and just enough circuitry and support to drive the keyboard, screen, some RAM and the SD card serving as the hard drive, and USB. It booted DOS, and in theory could have run Linux. It was powered by 6 AA batteries. They might have been able to produce them in bulk for $100 USD at the time, but I suspect it would have been more like $200. Didn't go anywhere as far as I know.
