Quanta Launching $200 Laptops

The world’s largest manufacturer of notebook computers wants to make $200 laptops to be sold in developed countries. Quanta also manufactures the OLPC that will be sold in third-world countries for as little as $150.

Mr Wang’s remarks follow Dell’s launch last week of a desktop computer in China selling for as little as $336. Other big technology companies have also announced plans to give more people in low-income countries access to computers, including Intel’s low-cost “classmate” PC and computer kiosks supported by Microsoft.
