 Hi,

 If real, a much better option than the Intel based Netbooks!

 http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/98-linux-laptop-the-hivision-mininote/
 HiVision makes the worlds cheapest Linux laptop at $98 using a new
 cheaper MIPS based processor, WiFi, 1GB flash storage, it runs Linux,
 has 3 USB ports, Ethernet, SDHC card reader, audio in and out,
 voice-chat, skype, multi-tabbed Firefox browser support and Abiword
 for word processing.


Its really cool...Can anyone tell how it can seen/bought in India?

Their current model is running a smooth and pretty snappy Linux user
interface. In this video, I got to borrow a review sample of the
laptop overnight, and I try to show you all the browser and other
software interfaces in this extended video review of this cheap MIPS
based laptop. Embedded is the way that I hope that most cheap laptops
are going to be based on in the near future, Google will hopefully
make a great Chrome browser for this kind of Laptop and hopefully that
OLPC soon will announce that they will work to improve Embedded Linux
based laptops in the upcoming XO-1.5 and XO-2 designs.
