Thank you very much for pointing out the unique features of the Edubook's system on chip design. Please note that the version of the Edubook you are evaluating is an early preproduction unit. There is no fan in the production units as the production Edubook uses the bottom case as a heatsink. The production case was not ready for the preproduction units so a fan was used. Any comments about fan or fan noise doesn't pertain to the production units. Comments on performance are fair. The Edubook is designed for lightweight work as is any 1Ghz or less computer is. The primary purpose of the Edubook is to provide an very low cost solution to students and children. While you mention that there is only 100 Singapore dollars advantage to the Edubook, this compares the list price of the Edubook against street prices of others. The end user price for the Edubook is $199.95 USD. However, the edubook is offered in kit form that allows them to be assembled locally, thus cutting the price and creating labor opportunities. While the end-user price is $199.95, schools, organizations, dealers and reseller can receive very substantial discounts on the Edubook. The production units will ship October 1st. There will be many new products based on the same System on Chip solution.
