Revolution In The Air?

A revolutionary change is about to occur, precipitated by educationalists, a non-profit organisation will bring about radical change in the market.

What is that radical change? eee PC and its emulators

The low-cost laptop from Asus is about to revolutionise the laptop market. Hot on its heels are cheap laptops from Intel and Everex.

The agent of change was not the marketplace but a simple small laptop aimed at the Developing World: the OLPC initiative.

In response to this project several manufacturers have suddenly realised that they can produce a viable laptop for a couple of hundred pounds, not the thousands that they often charge nowadays.

The advent of Asus’s eee PC is most welcome as it is bound to lower the cost of computing, make it more accessible and help with the take-up of technology across the world.

The eee PC is scheduled for release in the UK around mid November, but is already being released around the world and here are some reviews and videos of this intriguing laptop.
