    Yes, the government can make a $35 laptop – and it will probably cost them $50 to make it. They don't have to worry about profit. LOL

    The video was really good,informative and their aims are really good,$35 is really a cool price,as the minister said that in the retail market it will cost somewhat more than $35 or Rs1500,and one negative point added to it is a little bit awkward touchscreen.
