Students promised $15 lap top

as machines that cost about £400 cost them less than £20 to produce. This information came from someone who has a close relative who works for PC World, and we got in touch with them via email.

The easiest way to get around this issue is to order parts and put the PCs together yourself. If you don't have the knowledge base to do this, invest $50 in an A+ hardware training book and spend a weekend reading.

I just put together a new desktop last week for $230. If I had bought an equivalent model from one of the major manufacturers...I've found prices ranging from $600-$800 for a comparable setup.
