Everex To Do Notebooks Too

This week has been the Week of Low Cost Linux, with WalMart debuting a $200 Linux box [1], the Eee PC going on sale [2], and the OLPC opening up with an order for 100,000 systems [3]. Now Everex is getting into the game with notebooks as well.

The manufacturer, which is responsible for WalMart's $200 box, will begin offering a Linux laptop next year, with an asking price under $300. Ultra-low prices have been going up recently [4], with the OLPC jumping from $100 to $200 per system, and the Eee rising from $200 to $400.

The systems are expected to come in a variety of sizes, and will run the same Ubuntu-based gOS as the Everex desktop.
