Move over, $200 netbooks. According to a recent report by The Times Online, India’s government is currently in the process of developing a 500 rupee ($10) laptop.
Set to make its public debut this week, the computer was designed to bridge the massive “digital divide” between the country’s classes. The notebook follows the development of a $2,000 car and a $10 phone.
The development of the super-cheap notebook is being regarded as a response to OLPC’s $200 XO Laptop. According to developers, the current machine actually costs closer to $20, but the price would be halved if the computer were mass-produced.
