"These machines are small and cheap. Change either one and you've lost the market. A workable laptop for under £300 is a great idea, especially for a school child, as it will run OpenOffice or Microsoft office (under XP) and can't run most games. That has peaked my interest. Make it over £300 and I might as well buy a full-blown Dell laptop for the money."
"They are daft," begins no-nonsense qpw3141. "It's like coming up with the 'SmartCar', finding it's an amazing success, then starting to build ones that carry six people. That micro PC is a success because of what it is in terms of size, weight and price. If you increase each of those attributes by 50%, it doesn't matter what you call it, you are in a different market altogether."
