    No, this laptop is not mean for the mass consumer market, but rather for kids in poor regions and to be used as an educational tool. This article was on the BBC, I fail to see how a laptop that is remotly usable or durable can be made for under $100 -- you can't even get a good graphing calculator for such a price -- but we shall see

    Sub $100 PC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4243733.stm

    I would like to see what they would cut out. The display would surely have to be monochrome I think.
