for $200 you can get a regular pc these days. so why go thin?

Probably because Windows won't be an option (Costs, hell we talking legally here at least...), Linux will be way to complicated for people like that, pc's will probably blow over with virus trojans and stuff, and Google takes care of that and im sure it'll be a pretty Easy system to use for those people..., i really like the idea.

A world ran by Google?, i wouldn't mind...

And a PC without CPU like your Ass without the hole?, now thats fun :laugh: :laugh:

Not diversing topic to poor and rich top so not arguing much on it...different people different opinion....

Which Hundustan Times was this in? What day and what page? Cause I get the Hindustan Times and I never came across it?

HT mumbai edition, 1st page in the business section...the info was onthe front page also just above the name HT..it was on 15th Dec.....

I admire efforts like this to bring technology to poor countries. If you are interested in similar efforts I suggest you to do a search for the 100 dolar laptop or the AMD's PIC

Intel is calling the $100 laptop a toy, but I think it is great! Hell, I think every laptop should have a handcrank. I'd definately buy these things if they came to the USA for $150-200

Lucky for Deep and HT, as even Google is not sure/confirmed this news yet publicly. HT correspondents are "spies" I guess ;)

India isn't a poor country, but, what would you call a country where almost its entire population lives in pretty obnoxious conditions and still has the black plague? A bad country?

My dear Portuguese friend, would you mind getting your facts correct first.

Go to the CIA Factfile of countries and compare (using graphs) most of the countries with various parameters like, economic growth, socio-economic patterns, scientific advancement, agricultural, infrastructure, technology et al. For a change you would find India better placed among developing countries and on some aspects at par with "developed nations."

Regarding obnoxious conditions and black plague, is just the one side of coin which foriegn documentary makers are showing to the world to "make a fast buck" or "humbly depciting their love towards downridden."

I'm sorry for any intrusion, but I was tempted to say this because some stataments were grossly untrue in nature in this whole discussion. Thanks!

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
