£77 laptop is scam

A £78 Linux-based notebook with a 1.5GHz Celeron processor that turned heads across the internet looks to be a scam.

Swedish company Medison claimed to be behind the feat, but there is now evidence that customers who bought the notebook at a higher price six months ago have still not received the product.

Cue a flurry of media retraction from myself and Scandinavian site Ingeniøren who originally broke the story.

It just goes to show you should always read a review of a notebook from a trusted website or magazine, to prove the offer is genuine.
