No bet–I’m entirely in agreement with you there! That was the fundamental issue I had with the $1995 price point–an unitasker that’s basically a severely crippled laptop with a half sized screen shouldn’t cost more than an Android tablet or a Chromebook.

That $9 computer looks awesome!

The $9 C.H.I.P. would work equally well except it’s not yet available and, realistically, the big hardware expense on a project like you are proposing is the display and possibly custom case.

Keep blogging this. I’m interested to see what you come up with.
