I haven't seen these laptops but I can assure you that 2checkout.com is legit. I live in Columbus and I've been in their HQ on several occasions. I'm going to buy one of these just for the hell of it.

I'd buy one for the hell of it too.. for 150 bucks, that makes a great gift for someone that needs a laptop but can't afford one.. Hopefully some type of reviews come in.. if they're half-decent why not.

I remember Nicholas Negroponte gave a talk at TED about the 100dollar laptop.

This is part of the One Lap Top Per Child program. I thought they were only going to be sold to third world countries.

The guy who started that program was the commencement speaker at my graduation. He was actually annoying and his speach was basically a PSA for his program.

Update: The more we look into this one, the more it looks like a scam, with an oh-so-tiny air of believability -- perhaps just wishful thinking. Check out comments for the ongoing investigation, but at the moment we're thinking guilty until proven innocent.

If you order through 2checkout they guarantee delivery of the product or your money back. They will not pay the vendor for products that are not shipped to customers.

This is very real. My company provide some chips used in the system. We already ramped for production awhile back.
