$80 Android Laptop, Menq EasyPC E790

February 282010

Here is the cheapest laptop in the world. It can run Android since it is based on a Samsung ARM926EJ-S3C2450 processor, but for now this review unit that I am reviewing in this video only runs Windows CE 5.0. Check back hopefully within a month for another video when Menq may have sent me a firmware upgrade to use Android instead of Windows CE.

As I filmed the Menq Easypc E760 last year at IFA, Menq is a chinese company interested in providing the worlds cheapest laptop designs. Last year, they were using a 480×320 resolution 7-inch screen to reach the $89 price point for laptops, now they are able to include a 800×480 resolution 7-inch screen. Find more information about this Menq EasyPC E790 at http://www.menqgroup.com/products/pro/E790.asp

The coming of the ARM based laptops, in my opinion, are indicative of the real revolution that is imminent for the Laptop and Desktop computer industry. As soon as ARM based laptops can run a full Chrome Browser, with unlimited amounts of opened tabs all running smoothly, with Flash support, full Javascripts support and basic multimedia functions, then I think the turning point will be reached where most consumers in the world, and especially in developing countries, will be buying only the cheapest laptops.

Web Browsing is all that most people need, with clever HTML5 enabled Chrome browser running on any type of Embedded OS, be it Android or Ubuntu, even offline application could be run reliably from within the browser engine. Anything most people really need will work.

As you can see in my video review, this Menq EasyPC E790 is kind of slow since it is based on the ARM9 processor technology. For not much more cost, though, the Chinese laptop manufacturers could soon be using the ARM Cortex A8 processor technology, which should provide for a 5-10 times faster web browsing experience, and even faster if using an upcoming ARM optimized Chrome browser.

This laptop, I think, is giving us a taste of the future of laptops. Soon all laptops will cost $80 or less, run 10 hours or more on a small and cheap 3-cell battery, even over 20 hour battery life if using the Pixel Qi screen technology. It is also providing a sensation for the what we can expect from the next generation OLPC One Laptop Per Child XO-1.75 to be released by OLPC with ARM processor technology inside instead of X86.

If using ARM9, OLPC could definitely sell laptops at below $80, but maybe ARM Cortex A8 will be preferable at around $10-$20 extra in manufacturing costs, and the innovative new Pixel Qi screen, WiFi meshing, more RAM and storage, could bring the next ARM based OLPC XO-1.75 laptop coser to $125 per laptop, to reach below $100 with mass production. In any ways, I am really looking forward to see the upcoming releases of the ARM Cortex A8 based laptops, yet still, this ARM9 based laptop is very interesting, and if you want your local supermarket to start selling them, I suggest you phone your local supermarket headquarters, and ask them to contact Menq and order for example 5000 pieces or more so they can get them at the price of $80 per unit and sell it to you for probably below $100 in supermarkets.

What is a good and cheap gaming laptop?

February 152010

I need to know what a pretty cheap laptop is, that can run World of Warcraft very easily. I need to recommend a fairly cheap laptop to my parent, since they are buying me one for school next year. Keep in mind I live in Canada and I would like to know what the laptops name is precisely. Details don’t hurt either.

There are many laptops which are cheap and plus also fits in your requirements.

I will recommend you that you can get a good refurbished laptop which will be really nice and great in terms of money as well as in terms of specifications.

Just have a look at the website mentioned below from where you can purchase a refurbished laptop and get more info about refurbished laptops

A cheap Laptop computer that doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. How are you supposed to install programs?

February 122010

My Sister bought a cheap laptop, and it doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. Is there any way to install programs onto the Computer. I’m thinking an external CD Drive, but do they work like that?

Thank you.

You can buy an external USB CD or DVD drive.
Or you can use a program like unetbootin to create a bootable flash drive from an iso image of a CD

In your case, an external USB DVD would probably be best. Get one that has an onboard battery, many netbooks don’t have enough current on the USB ports to properly power many external USB CD/DVD drives. Plextor makes a good one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249034

Where can I find a cheap new laptop?

February 102010

hey, I’m looking for a cheap laptop that isn’t used. I don’t know much about laptops, but i want one that I can get wireless internet with and can do the basic stuff. I need it for school and student purposes. I like apple computers, but it doesn’t have to be. I think the most I would want to pay is about $1000. But some advice would be great! thanks.

Where can I get a GOOD but very cheap laptop?

February 72010

I know it sounds like an impossible question but maybe one of you know where I can get a good but very cheap laptop. I use to go to the Boeing Surplus store here in WA but they closed it and I can’t get cheap computers anymore. Do you know where you can get a good but cheap laptop? Looking under $500 (the cheaper the better)

Well. . .to find a good and cheap laptop. . .you’ll have to look at refurbished or discontinued laptops. . .or in used computer/laptop stores. . .

here are some suggested laptops. . .even though over $500 by $40 to $99. . .

The Toshiba laptops are pretty decent from this site. . .
