Cheap PCs: too good to be true?
,----[ Quote ]
| Our rock-bottom PCs may be perfect for the basics and, rather than One
| Laptop Per Child, we're increasingly a nation of three PCs per
| household. So these systems could fulfil a role as a second or third
| computer for the home. At these prices, many people will have
| little hesitation in getting out their credit cards.
