Dell Latitude 2100
,----[ Quote ]
| A bare-bones box with Ubuntu sells for $369 sporting the Intel 1.6GHz Atom
| N270 CPU, 512MB of RAM, and a 16GB solid-state drive. The fully loaded model
| we received (in tasteful playground-ball red, of course) runs Windows XP on
| 1GB of RAM (upgradable to 2GB) and a 80GB hard drive; it sells for $559 (as
| of 7/31/09). I know that education is expensive, but are you willing to drop
| that many ducats on your child's netbook?
