So it looks as if Asus really started something with the Eee PC. Everex is set to debut its Low cost Linux system 2/15/08 to a Walmart near you and now it looks as if a company called Pioneer Computers is showing off its version of a low cost Lappy! Seven inches of LCD, 1 Gig processor and 1 Gig Ram. You choose between Linux, XP or Vista, but know that it starts at $469 (Quite a bit more than a Eee or a Cloudbook) and those other OS choices bump the price toward the sky. Also note that the base model doesn't even offer WiFi! So its interesting, but with the price and no WiFi, I don't think this is going to be a treat to the King of the low cost laptop mountain, Eee . . . But lets see where Pioneer Computers takes this concept. Who knows, version two might add some key missing pieces and figures out how to drop the price . . . . .
