A $199 Ultra Portable Laptop?

Wow. It's a challenge to the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Program that seeks to provide cheap computers to impoverished countries to help their kids improve their level of education. The OLPC Program so far has suffered numberous setbacks. It's been around for a few years now.

Asustek, in a bold move, is releasing this new laptop without any government support. They expect the private sector to drive the market and maybe even lower the prices later on.

I want one! :D
