HiVision makes one of the
worlds cheapest Linux laptops
at $98 using a new cheaper
chipset, WiFi, 1GB flash
storage, it runs Linux, 3 USB
ports, Ethernet, SDHC card
reader, audio in and out.
Voice-chat, Skype,
multi-tabbed Firefox browser
support, Abiword for word
processing. Automatic online
software updates. Their
current model is based on a
public chinese low cost case
mold design and is running on
a MIPS processor, they may
soon also support an ARM9 with
DSP as the processor and they
are showing their own nice
looking case design molds. All
running on smooth Linux
interfaces. In this video, I
got to borrow a review sample
of the laptop overnight, and I
try to show you all the
browser and other software
interfaces in this extended
video review of this cheap
MIPS based laptop. ARM and DSP
is the way that I hope that
most cheap laptops are going
to be based on in the near
future, Google will hopefully
make a great Chrome browser
for this kind of Laptop and
hopefully that the geniuses at
OLPC soon will announce that
they will work to improve ARM
and DSP based laptops in
XO-1.5 and XO-2 designs.
