I’ve seen this kind of laptop somewhere when I was window shopping in the department store. Although the device I saw has a different brand on it and I don’t know what brand it was. This multi functional device, the Alpha 400 Ultra portable Laptop is cheap compared to other laptop brands out there in the market. I guess that’s how a low-end and cheap gadget should be introduced in the market. The Alpha 400 will apparently be priced from $250 (or $180 in volume), and it features a 400MHz Xburst CPU, 128MB of RAM, 1GB or 2GB of flash memory, a 7-inch 800 x 400 display, and will run on Windows CE or Linux.

So if you’re not into high-end laptop or pc technology, then you’d probably buy one of these and just act like a gadget geek and you’re good to go.
