$99 laptop too good to be true...

Unless you order 10,000

Group Buy Anyone? LOL....

JOINTECH'S claim that its new JL7100 laptop would be sold for $99 appears to be extremely misleading.

The electronic systems company seemed to be selling this mini laptop as cheap as chips at $99 – that’s around £50.

In fact a price list revealed by Cody Zhao from Jointech laptop sales shows a very different story.

The true figures show that to get the machine for $99 you have to buy a minimum of 10,000 of the blighters.

Here's the full list:
10000 units or above price US$ 99.00 FOB HK
1000 units or above price US$129.00 FOB HK
100units or above price US$139.00 FOB HK
Sample price US$299.00 FOB HK

Zhao also confirms that Jointech has not yet determined which partner it will cooperate with in the UK.

This is the Windows CE 5.0 system they were talking about 2-3 weeks ago right? I just don't see a CE device as a laptop.

It only has like 64 MB (not GB, MB) of storage. Forget that.
It's not a real laptop, it's a toy.

64MB is fine for a CE device as long as it has memory card slots and USB ports. If it'll take a 4GB+ SDHC card then no worries. I'll treat it like a PDA with a big screen, which may be perfect for watching video on the go if its light enough.
