HiVision makes the worlds cheapest Linux laptop at $98 using a new cheaper MIPS based processor (perhaps the Longsoon or the Ingenic), WiFi, 1GB flash storage, it runs Linux, has 3 USB ports, Ethernet, SDHC card reader, audio in and out, voice-chat, skype, multi-tabbed Firefox browser support and Abiword for word processing. Automatic and secure online software updates. Their current model is running a smooth and pretty snappy Linux user interface. In this video, I got to borrow a review sample of the laptop overnight, and I try to show you all the browser and other software interfaces in this extended video review of this cheap MIPS based laptop. Embedded is the way that I hope that most cheap laptops are going to be based on in the near future, Google will hopefully make a great Chrome browser for this kind of Laptop and hopefully that OLPC soon will announce that they will work to improve Embedded Linux based laptops in the upcoming XO-1.5 and XO-2 designs.

Thanks to DivX Networks for sponsoring this IFA 2008 video coverage! I am using DivX HD for HD quality video streaming, not because DivX sponsored this IFA 2008 video coverage, but I’ve been using DivX for HD quality video streaming using the DivX Web Player since 2005 when I first started to post videos in 1280×720 3.5mbit/s HD quality on this video-blog. I just think that DivX works best if not being the only solution working for web-based high quality progressive downloading of videos.
