heh,
nice idea if a large group is buying though. you have to purchase 100

this is where lapstops are supposed to be BTW. the prices that are
charged for "normal" laptops right now is insane (like a 400% markup
from manufacturers actual cost incl. shipping, etc)

  while its true that the laptop market is asymmetrical, the total costs are difficult to calculate and the actual physical manufacture costs have always been a small portion of production costs.
