Walk into any toy store and youll see a laptop computer, a plastic clamshell that has all of the design cues of a notebook: keyboard, screen, some ports and switches, but none of the power. Its cheap enough to buy for (and disappoint) a kid, but it isnt of course a real computer. It probably has a few built in games and thats it.
The Ebay $37 laptop is almost that same machine, although it looks even more like the computers it pretends to be. It runs Windows CE on a 300 MHz ARM VIA processor with 128kb RAM and a whopping 2GB storage. The huge bezel around the tiny 7-inch 800 x 480 screen has space for a pair of speakers either side, and you even get an ethernet jack and a couple USB ports (take that, iPad) along with Wi-Fi. You can also slot-in an SD card.
