HiVision may be pulling our leg with the claim of a $98 computer called the miniNote. But if it’s real, this is big! The $98 laptop has everything you need in order to do basic computing tasks like playing music, surfing the web or creating a document.
The minimal amount of hardware provided with the HiVision miniNote makes its low price point possible. It comes packed with 400 MHz CPU, 128 megs of RAM, a 7-inch screen, and a 1 GB flash drive. Wi-Fi is built in, and the HiVision miniNote runs on a Linux or old Windows OS.
