A laptop at Rs.500 (US$10), no matter how barebones, sounds like the biggest thing to happen for personal computing. Being developed in India, we must be seething with national pride and a sense of achievement. The only problem is, this 'Rs. 500 laptop' is not really a laptop. Not by a long shot.

But you get no display, no keyboard. Probably this is the reason why there were no photos released when this product was 'unveiled'. …mehr
