Raspberry PI vs Notebook 1 Malaysia

I like the government vision of making Malaysia an IT knowledgeable society.
Once upon a time,  they even gave free laptop to family with less than RM3000 income.
 Free laptops to"deserving" family. LOLZ

Then followed by Free Notebook 1Malaysia for student... again.. another LULZ.
1 Malaysia but made in.. ntah mane.
Congratz to the supplier who won the tender! :cheer:

 SERIOUSLY?

I bet all those free notebook are now a piece of junk.
Life expectancy for a Laptop/notebook is only 2years before they crack up and self terminate themselves.
(especially ACER Laptop. They'll automatically self destruct before the warranty end)

You think that Laptop/notebook can help you improve your IT/Programming knowledge via plug and play?
 (its call spoon feed)
Can Words/excel/photoshop/web writing in ICT curriculum can even broaden your mind?
( being too colonized to improve yourself to use other software)
 Experimenting programming would be sooo totally far off with PC/laptop/notebook.
That thing will eventually create a new generation of internet social whores waste of money.

Instead of wasting millions of money, those money can be use as a grant for any non-profit charity group that can come up with the most affordable  and powerful computer a student can buy...and it is possible!

BEHOLD THE (currently) ULTIMATE AFFORDABLE COMPUTER

 Raspberry Pi

Dont be fooled by this baby.

It cost only £25, same price as a freaking Britain School Text book! 

Modal B, £35

RM125 equivalent to a University firsthand book!

Dont blame Malaysian price, cause this baby is made in Britain. (it's manufacturing factory is in China).

 If you want cheaper, gather around a group of brilliant people and develop it. Made in Malaysia, RM25.

the graphic sux (quake3 1999), but it is running on a CREDIT CARD !!!

This wont limited your experimental boundary. It's cheap enough to be replace.
You can even make your own casing for it!
In fact your Handphone cost 5x of this baby
