FWIW, it is showing up as only $59.99 (!) at that link for me. Amazing!

Or buy a reconditioned thin client for 20-30 USD on eBay.

Add 10 USD for a keyboard and mouse.

The result will be much better than the OP in every way.

Would you mind sharing a link to one of these reconditioned thin clients?

This is absolutely amazing. They say retail margins are about 50%, so for 40 bucks they're making a battery pack, charger, lcd monitor, keyboard, track pad, Intel processor computer and Microsoft windows. Incredible

Wow. And not only is it a complete laptop for that price, but it appears to come with more memory and storage (4GB/64GB) than Abacus's base model (2GB/0).

Incredible that today this is a better deal and more accessible than any current Raspberry Pi model.

Nice to see netbooks making a comeback.
