I remember hearing that soon there would be laptops available at under 100 dollars? Whatever happened to that idea?

I've never heard that. Sounds awesome though. If you live anywhere close to Knoxville, or even Tennessee, there's this warehouse sale they do everymonth. I got my 450.00 dollar laptop there for 78 dollars, along with a Wii, and Xbox both for about 60.00 dollars each. I do know that it only comes around about once every year, and that the pricess are rediculous. I went two weeks ago, and it's actually pretty easy to get into, and they're pretty well stocked for weeks (:

I also heard that and searched a lot. The minimum laptop which I came across was of worth US$200 or more. This was an idea given to promote computer knowledge and educate children by giving away to developing countries under US$100 but no sign of them in markets.

One laptop for every child can be accessed through laptop.org they seem to have this now, I know there were intellectual right problems when first developed and companies were backing off, but now it seems like it made be made a reality, wait and see..

you heard right. perhaps a day will come when you can get laptops under 100 dollars but the time is not now. nowadays you can get a cheap netbook for around 100 dollars as new technology develops maybe below $100 laptops will make rounds
