The online store Alibaba.com sells the Impulse NPX-9000 netbook. It gets solicited by the slogan “the world’s cheapest laptop”. If you buy 50 pieces or more, the notebook costs only $ 130 (~ € 83).

This price is very low, but they included cheap hardware as well. The installed CPU is a MIPS processor with 400 MHz and 128 MB RAM are also built in. The netbook offers a 7-inch display and a 1 GB flash drive.

A special Linux version which works with this less powerful hardware is also included. Furthermore, it provides a SD card reader, a VGA connector, three USB ports, a mini USB connector, a microphone and a headphone jack.
