Owing a netbook is a sure sign that you are not below the poverty line, that is if the netbook truly is yours and is completely yours. However, with the increase in the interest in providing to every class of society, you may own a laptop made especially for the poor man.

Daniel Spalding designed the Poor Man’s Netbook which turns out to be a netbook in a rugged suitcase and cost much more than a normal netbook to build. Since that was so bulky and people complained about how bulky it was, Daniel decided to build something better and came up with the smaller but faster version of the Poor Man’s Netbook and titled it the Poor Man’s Notebook. This sleeker better version has an 8 inch touch screen with 1024×768 resolution. Other specifications of the Poor Man’s Notebook include 2.5GHz dual-core E5200 CPU, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and 64GB OCZ solid state drive. The notebook also offers WiFi and Bluetooth connection and has a GeForce 7100 graphics set.

The Poor Man’s Notebook may not work like the really sleek stuff that is available for the elite but it is called a Poor Man’s gadget, after all. I wonder how poor, though.
