Medison Celebrity Laptop: Too Good to be True?
July 26, 2007
If you think you need at least 20k to buy a brand-new laptop, think again. Priced at US$ 150 (about PhP 6,800 only based on the prevailing currency exchange), the Medison Celebrity laptop is the most affordable (read: cheapest) laptop in the world to date! Of course, the specs come quite cheap too:
- Intel® Celeron 1.5 GHz CPU
- 14" Widescreen X-bright LCD
- 256 MB RAM memory
- 40 GB Hard Drive
- DVD/CD Drive
- 802.11g Wireless LAN
- Optimized Linux operating system
- Pre-installed office and multimedia applications
- Mass: 2.2 kg
But these are enough for emailing, web surfing, word processing, blogging and the likes. It comes pre-installed with Fedora Linux as its operating system. Presently, you can only place your order through their website and they only accept credit card as mode of payment. In the U.S., it takes about 4-6 weeks to ship the order. But it looks like the company is accepting orders outside the U.S. They even go as far as outfitting the laptop with the appropriate keyboard settings. As for after-sales support, they do give a 1-year warranty. The extent of the warranty though has not been specified. Clicking on support on their website will just give you a bunch of email addresses. That's what they call support, at least for now.
Many are dismissing the Medison Celebrity as another online scam. But a CNET editor with an extra $150 has placed an order. Too good to be true? Let's just wait and see if his order pulls through or not.

too good to be true, pero as you said the specs come cheap din hehe...
iba-iba pa pala ang linux, xandros un nakalagay dun sa eee pc na sabi mo...
when i read what asus people said about how insanely low priced eee pc is, parang gusto kong maniwala na gusto lang tlga nila dalhin ang teknolohiya sa masa, hehe
The low price point has a reason...the eee pc is intel's second answer (the first one being intel's classmate) to negroponte's not-for-profit 175 usd laptop (one laptop per child). Negroponte's laptop uses AMD processors and AMD is a direct competitor of Intel. Although, of course eee PC is for adults too.
ah, kaya pla... where do you get all these?! sobrang wla ako alam... hehe
From the Internet, of course where else? hehe
as for the too good to be true but the specs come cheap too - what i meant was the specs aren't spectacular but with those specs, it's a mystery how the manufacturers could lower their price - theirs is even cheaper than negroponte's not-for-profit laptop.
