its buy one give one. you buy one and they donate one to some poor kid in some other country

the one thing i do like about it is that its the only LCD screen that you can use in direct sun light.

It seems as tho PvP thinks that you cant buy one for yourself, reading tec's comment he could have thought that if you buy one it goes to a poor kid and not you... instead of you get one and one goes to the kid.... i could be wrong tho

lol i came from a poor family in vietnam...when you're poor, noone gives a ratsass about you so now that my family has money y do i care about some poor kids. ill mod what i want to mod and if its a poor kids laptop then ill do it if meets my requirements. end of story, my beliefs arent up for debate, ne posts about that after this will be deleted. plus its buy one, give one. so ill be buying one for myself and one for some kid. win win.

other than that the laptop does run linux and everything on there is modifiable. i kind of like the design considering the mobo is where the lcd is and the keyboard is by itself. i could very easily do a slideout keyboard underneath the console considering the ribbon cable is quite long.

I'd Buy One Too, It Looks Fairly  Cool.
So If I Buy One, Some Poor Kid Gets One Too? So Really, There Something Like $90 Each? But We Pay An Extra $90 For The Kid...

ABGN WiFi mod
Keyboard Light
Internal usb hub
