Laptops are getting smaller and smaller cheaper and cheaper. $199 promised by Asus for basic Eee PC was a dream for many, never fullfilled. Well, $73 laptop is real, at least in China.

Shenzhen, chinese computer manufacturer, has put together a laptop with a 7 inch 800×480 display, 300MHz processor, 128MB RAM and 1Gb of storage… and it runs Windows CE (check out Wikipedia archives if you have no idea what this is). Goog thing is laptop does feature WiFi!

It is kind of interesting to see what can be done with the machine like that. I guess it is good for typewriter and some real basic Internet activities.
