World's cheapest Linux-based laptop?
http://www.desktoplinux.com/ news/ NS2846711250.html
A Hong Kong-based manufacturer is shipping a Linux-based ultra-mini PC (UMPC) laptop for only $250 ($180 in volume), which appears to give it the lowest price yet for a Linux laptop. Bestlink's Alpha 400 offers a 400MHz CPU and a 7-inch, truecolor display.

Bestlink Alpha 400, The $250 "Eee" [Laptops]
http://gizmodo.com/392523/bestlink-alpha-400-the-250-eeeWe're a little sick of the Asus Eee metric too, but it sure makes for a succinct headline.

Bestlink Alpha 400, The $250 "Eee"
http://gizmodo.com/392523/bestlink-alpha-400-the-250-eeeWe're a little sick of the Asus Eee metric too, but it sure makes for a succinct headline. The Bestlink Alpha 400 is a 7-inch Linux PC with a 400Mhz processor, scant 128MB of RAM and 1-2GB of internal flash storage. It's nothing impressive, but it only runs $250...through probably not much else, if you know what I mean. But order 100 or more and the price drops to $180 per unit. Pretty neat, since $18,000 could easily buy you just one computer in more advanced configurations. [Desktop Linux]

Goedkoop laptopje
http://weblog.gvmelle.com/2008/05/27/goedkoop-laptopje/De Bestlink Alpha 400 is de zoveelste Asus Eee concurrent en hij is met 250 dollar een stuk goedkoper. Helaas moet je daarvoor wel veel op het vlak van prestaties inleveren. De processor is slechts 400 Mhz, het geheugen 128 MB en het flashgeheugen 1 of 2 GB. Wel kun je het opslaggeheugen met SD-kaartjes uitbreiden. Het scherm van de Alpha 400 meet 7 inch en heeft een resolutie van 800 bij 480 pixels. Geen krachtpatser dus, maar altijd leuk voor in de keuken om receptjes en het nieuws te checken.
