Will laptops will be £50

For a long time, there has been talk of very low priced laptops coming onto the market initially to provide youngsters from deprived regions with a computer to enable them to study better and make a different life for them.

But this idea seems to have been hijacked slightly by commerce, these cheap computers have become the ideal tool for mobile broadband providers to offer with their services, which sort have puts an end to the idea of cheap computers for those people who cannot afford new computers.

Now it seems that these computers are going to be coming right down in price, some sources believe the top makers like Dell and Asus will be selling mini laptops for as little as £50, but this is bound to have some strings tied it in some way.
