$100 laptop in Europe
 
It's the 'give one get one - one laptop per child' scheme. Now in Europe, but at £268/313 euros.

BBC NEWS | Technology | European debut for '$100 laptop'

I read the BBC article, but I don't get it - who is making this machine, and is it any good. £268 doesn't sound that cheap for a small basic laptop, I bought and Acer Aspire One a few months ago for £300 and they're now down to £250 and it's a good little machine. If the manufacturers hit their target of $100US then that would be a bargain. But if it's $188 in the US how come it will be so much more in Europe?

Buy one (don't) get one (not) free
 
I think you are paying for two, you get one and someone else in a poorer country gets the other ...

hence half the price and it'sa bit nearer ....

Understood, thanks. Do you know where I can find the details for it?
