Intel's Classmate PC, $200-$250. No hard drive, wireless enabled. Pakistan has ordered 100,000 of them for it's Open University, so that people in remote areas wont have to travel to get education. : http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/04/18/intel_classmate_pc_at_idf/

Questions on whether or not laptops are even needed with a lively and amusing email debate between the NComputing founder, Stepen Dukker and the OneLaptop/Child guru, Walter Bender. Dukker takes a combative tone which eventually gets Bender going too. : http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118892795619917030.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
