$100 Linux computer that looks like a wall wart
« on: February 25, 2009, 03:36 AM »
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Marvell Semiconductor will soon be releasing a complete Linux based computer with decent specs for only $100. This little critter is tiny, and could easily be mistaken for your usual AC "wall-wart" adapter.

Put an i7 in it and it wouldn't be cool at all. In fact, it would probably melt. ;D

What's wrong with clunky?

When it comes to Linux, some people walk the walk - others waddle the waddle. ;)
