I would not recommend this one, it's "not as good as version" of the failed $80 laptop ( please see http://www.liliputing.com/2009/11/menq-easypc-e790-80-and-still-barely-worth-it.html ) The MenQ Group in China has yet to produce these in sufficient quantity to deliver at $80 or even $100 ( samples can be had for $150 to $300 US ) Hold on to your $100 for just a few months more, there should be some better options coming out soon enough.
