I was hearing about $100 laptops from the time, I joined college. Finally, I see it happen.

Every developing nation should award highest civilian honour to Sundar Pichai for making this happen. Thanks Google for making this happen.

You just reminded me about the OLPC program, or the 100$ laptop.

We are getting pretty close, aren't we.

Yeah, I think this is more because of Rockchip than because of Google. Rockchip manages to make a potent processor for very little, which is what is powering these. Google's volumes help as well but I would give more props to Rockchip
