Forget about the mythical $100 laptop, India's $10 laptop project not only serious undercuts the former price point, but it supposedly exists. The low-cost portable PC represents the efforts of the Indian government's ministry of science and ministry of technology, and a prototype is expected to be unveiled tomorrow in Tirupati, India.
Despite the impending release, specifications still haven't been announced. However, some reports say the $10 laptop will come with 2GB of memory, WiFi connectivity, storage expansion options, and consume just 2W of power.
How it all translates to a single Alexander Hamilton greenback is a mystery, or even the current pre-production cost, which sits at about double. "At this stage, the price is working out to be $20 but with mass production it is bound to come down," R P Agarwal, secretary, higher education said.

but for $10, I don't think anybody has the right to complain.

Sure it'll be slow as hell, but for $10, I don't think anybody has the right to complain. I'd get one.
