The $49 Mini Laptop: Will It Influence the Computing World?
VIA Technologies Inc., a corporate group noted for bringing out innovative electronic products, has created a stir in the world of compact PCs by launching the $49 mini laptop. Called as the APC 8750, this mini laptop is actually a product that has been aimed at the developing world. However it is still not the cheapest PC in the world. For, the Raspberry Pi – a Linux based system priced at just $25 had been released earlier. Still it is hoped that this brand new mini laptop will make computing affordable for thousands of people who can’t buy expensive hi-tech products.
