Apex $100 Laptop Specifications

$100 Laptop = PhP 5,500.00 approx.

This is not yet available in the Philippines. But it will be, soon.
They say that they’re happy to announce the TRUE ONE CHILD ONE LAPTOP POLICY!

Key features:

Processor — 500MHz CPU (it appears likely that AMD will be the CPU supplier, since it, and not Intel, is a member of the initiative)

Memory — 128Mb of DRAM

Storage — no hard drive; instead, the unit will have 500Mb of internal nonvolatile Flash memory, used for programs and data storage

Display — described as a dual-mode display — both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black-and-white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3X the resolution

Expansion — four USB ports

Wireless networking — the device will have built-in wireless broadband that, among other capabilities, will allow it to implement a mesh network. Each laptop will be able to talk to its nearest neighbors, creating an ad hoc WLAN (wireless local area network).

Operating system — Linux (it appears likely that Red Hat Fedora will be used, since Red Hat is a member of the initiative)
The devices will use innovative power supply technology, including wind-up charging, and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data, according to the Lab.

    Interesting webpage. Continue to posting more great publications. Laptops are becoming speedier and less exspensive. Consumers are more educated to what is obtainable. Used notebooks are a way to buy a cheap laptop
