Recently, there has been a particularly heated online discussion about whether the price of sub-thousand-yuan imitation netbooks is too low. From authoritative Indian media reports, it was learned that the Indian government will display a $10 laptop this coming Tuesday. As part of the $10 laptop project plan, the Indian government will showcase an ultra-low-cost laptop on February 3rd, with a cost of only $20, and the price can be reduced to $10 after mass production. Do you still think the price of sub-thousand-yuan imitation netbooks is too cheap now? Of course, the currency unit I'm referring to for "sub-thousand-yuan imitation netbook prices" is Renminbi, not Japanese Yen or Vietnamese Dong!

In July last year, multiple media outlets quoted Indian Minister of Higher Education Purandeswari (D. Purandeswari) as saying that in order to improve the quality of education, India is developing a super-low-cost $10 laptop. This is less than one-twelfth of the price of our sub-thousand-yuan imitation netbooks!
