Since I'm posting links to random things, here's another upcoming laptop product:

It's clearly not comparable to the EOMA68 laptop because it lacks the modularity, and is obviously not as flexible as a result, and it's fairly limited in terms of the interfaces and expansion options it offers.
However, because it's so cheap, it might be a bit of a worrying development for vendors who are selling laptops based on boards like the Raspberry Pi, because some of the sales of those go to people who just want a cheap laptop rather than people who want to use them in educational settings.
It shows how low prices can get, and that is perhaps more interesting for EOMA68 because it suggests a price point that a mass-market laptop could aim for.
