The zero dollar laptop is here!
The zero dollar laptop is widely available to individuals in the developed world. It’s also available to businesses, governmental organisations and NGOs. It’s also available in the developing world. Distribution is ramping up.
The zero dollar laptop comes in a variety of specifications.
The current typical specification of the zero dollar laptop in the UK is around 500mHz, with 256mB RAM, a 10 gigabyte hard disk, a network card, a CD-ROM, a USB port and a screen capable of displaying at least 800×600 pixels in 16-bit colour. Many zero dollar laptops are better specified. (Its close cousin, the zero dollar desktop, typically runs at 1000mHz or faster.)
