The special architecture enables to reduce the development cost to one hundrad dollers. The computer is okey for rough use as well. This does not contain a hard driver or a CD driver. The storage is IGB flash driver and the memory card is 256MB. The memory can increase by using SD memory card. to connect peripheral devices there are 4 ports. The processor is AMD Geode 433 Hz. This is suitable for low electricity consumption. In normal computers even there is no movement in screen the processor absorbs electricity but here it is differen. It works only when there is something shown in the screen. Also the Wi-FI adopter works with out connecting to the processor. Linux run on this system.
