Asus chairman Jonney Shih told the world today at Intel’s Computex that they have built an $189 computer. According to PC Pro, the notebook will use a solid-state hard disk and a custom-written Linux operating system. It will be available to all areas of the world, not just developing countries.
There hasn’t been much more information released on the notebook, but I’m excited. This new competition in the cheap computer market is going to be great for everyone, especially developing nations. It will help put information and internet access into the hands of more people.
