$100 Laptop for Kids
fastredpacman:
What do you guys think? It could be used to run some of the older games inexpensively. Here is the link:

They said they might let American vendors sell it for $200-$300... by early 2007. By then, it'll be obsolete and overpriced. :)

Where in the article does it say that?
Mr. Bubblehead:
Ebay is the original home of the $100 laptop ;)

Hell I got a stack of laptops you can take away for free that'll run plenty of older games. P66-P100 era laptops my boss gave me when we cleaned out the office.
I snagged a couple of old Panasonic toughbooks, those things are built like tanks, and work as well today as they ever did (you cant have those). Even the batteries still hold charge. The gateways are chinsey plastic crap and held together with duct tape and imagination, but they work (batteries long since kapoop though).
But like Mr Bubblehead said, you can get more computer for 100 on eBay. Unless you're a computer-clueless and need something that comes in a shiney box with a manual and 1-800 number.
