There is an upstart computer company out of Atlanta, GA called Lite Appliances, Inc. that is saying it will have a laptop computer in 2007 that will cost only $150. According to a recent article, the laptop will not use any of the standard operating systems nor will it be using AMD or Intel processors.
This is what I find strange. Nowhere on the Lite Appliances, Inc. Web site is there any mention of this. Nor is there any press release available. Which makes one wonder where this information came from. Having read over the years about new innovations that will change our lives only to find that they were myths, one might forgive me for being a skeptic.
So my questions are these:
- How does anyone come up with a $150 laptop and still make a profit?
- If it is not using any standard operating systems, what is it using?
- No AMD or Intel Processors? What will it use and how well will it work?
- Is this going to be a toy or a fully functional laptop?
Here is the alleged press release. See what you think.
