This laptop only costs $69

There’s a real laptop that you can order right now for just $69. Yes, the whole laptop. Not just a replacement battery or a charging brick for it.

Let’s clarify right off the bat: the $69 price tag is for the first 200 units that will be shipped to Azpen Innovations’ Kickstarter backers. But those supporters really will get an actual laptop — with a screen, keyboard, touchpad — the whole works. Azpen is crowdfunding development of the Hybrx, an 11.6-inch laptop that runs Remix OS. For the unfamiliar, Remix is an aptly named popular Android remix that’s been tweaked to be a bit friendlier to use on desktops and laptops.

How on Earth did they manage to build a laptop that they can sell — even as a pledge perk — at $69? It all starts with the CPU. The Hybrx isn’t running an Intel or AMD processor. It’s not even using an Exynos or Snapdragon. It’s powered by a quad-core AllWinner A64. It’s not going to blow you away with its performance, but it’s plenty capable for basic computing tasks like browsing, casual gaming, and streaming video or music.
