The $100 Laptop from MIT Faces a New Competitor: iT from AsiaTotal
The iT computer set includes a keyboard, a mouse, and a 7-inch LCD screen along with speakers, a memory card reader, and all the necessary cables. Users simply need to plug in the power and turn on the iT to start using it. It’s as straightforward as any regular desktop computer.
The hotkeys will guide users to pre-set websites. To execute this project, having sponsors is essential, which is why iT integrates hotkeys to allow users to access the sponsors’ addresses directly.
The memory card reader enables users to utilize bank cards for money transfers and other direct payment methods from the iT. This free computer also has the capability to connect to a TV, an audio system, printers, and USB devices.
AsiaTotal is a Hong Kong-based website that claims to distribute the iT for free not only in Asia but also worldwide. This initiative aims to expand technology access to households that previously could not afford a desktop computer. It is important to note that the iT cannot replace the “$100 laptop” because the iT requires a stable power source, while the $100 laptop can run on batteries or generate power with a hand crank.
