In these days many are following Asus’ foot step, producing a laptop or UMPC in the pretty low price of $ 200 – $ 400 Another way the laptop grabbed some blurry shots in the last few weeks, now has been confirmed – it is the CTL 2Go PC.CTL 2Go PC is somehow similar marketing strategy to other budget items laptop makers, in the education market for students. 2Go PC will retail for around 400 U.S. Dollar. Through the first sight for the entire design of the laptop, it does not look that the most appealing eyes. This is also one of the reasons why it does not catch my eye when it is in circulation for many other sources.

Specification wise – the 2Go PC is equipped with a 9-inch 800 640 LED-backlit display, a 1-GHz Intel Celeron M processor, 512 MB RAM (expandable to 1 GB) and a 40 GB 4200 rpm 1.8 inch HD. It would also be equipped with wireless-G adapter, an SD MMC card reader, a webcam, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a 3 hours battery, comes with Windows XP (and Linux). The question is whether the price is 400 U.S. dollars includes the license for Windows XP. If yes, the Linux version could be cheaper than $ 400. Besides the 2Go PC seems to come that, with a handle to the body for easy transport.
