A NETBOOK FOR 5,000 BAHT ?

Quite possibly. The Daily Telegraph is reporting that British computer firm Elonex will start selling its Netbook product for £99 in Next and Marks and Spencer from next month. At current exchange rates (and the way the British pound is heading) that equates to a touch over 5,000 baht.
Okay, so this computer will only have 2GB memory (my mobile phone has four times that) but it will, according to the report, ".. be able to tap into your home or work computer remotely, accessing all of its documents and storage. By controlling your home or work PC remotely over the Internet, the netbook should be able to compete with larger, more powerful laptops."
The Eee PC, which is sold in Thailand and produced by Asus, is more than twice that price but does have more memory. For £99 the Elonex offering seems like it will be a must-have.
