The company iUnika , in June this year, is going to start producing netbooks based on 400 MHz MIPS processors costing from 130 to 160 euros.
Processor: MIPS Ingenic 400 MHz
Screen: 8 "(800 x 480) + optional, showing battery status, WiFi, volume, etc.
Memory: 128MB RAM and 1GB NAND Flash (expandable with SD card up to 32 or 64 GB).
Battery: 4200 mAh.
Weight: about 700 grams.
Cost € 130 ($ 176) for a model without solar panels and € 160 ($ 220) for solar. There is Ethernet, WiFi, 3 * USB, VGA, ADSL, SD card reader, headphone input (and apparently a microphone), and in some models also a GPRS / 3G modem.
For a long time I was expecting something like this (it lives a long time, costs a little, Linux is on board). Since the processor itself consumes quite a bit of energy, and other elements are also not very demanding on it, I think that the device will last a long time (judging by the description it will work from 4 to 5 hours), solar panels charge the netbook for 5 .. .7 o'clock. It is not clear whether the netbook can work and charge at the same time. It’s a pity that the screen was badly pumped up; all the same, 800x480 is not enough for comfortable work.
Well, actually how this miracle looks:
