[GLLUG] FWIW $99.00 laptop If you can blow away Windows CE.

[Charles Ulrich]

Saw this yesterday... basically, it looks like this is what would happen
if you took one of those MIPS wifi router SoCs and bolted on a keyboard,
screen, and trackpad.

There've been other $99 laptops announced over the years, but this is
the first one that probably isn't a hoax or scam.

Also, I bet it would make an acceptable LTS thin client.
