$99 laptop too good to be true
JOINTECH'S claim that its new JL7100 laptop would be sold for $99 appears to be extremely misleading.
The electronic systems company seemed to be selling this mini laptop as cheap as chips at $99 – that’s around £50.
In fact a price list revealed by Cody Zhao from Jointech laptop sales shows a very different story.
The true figures show that to get the machine for $99 you have to buy a minimum of 10,000 of the blighters.
Here's the full list:
10000 units or above price US$ 99.00 FOB HK
1000 units or above price US$129.00 FOB HK
100units or above price US$139.00 FOB HK
Sample price US$299.00 FOB HK
Zhao also confirms that Jointech has not yet determined which partner it will cooperate with in the UK. µ

Then there's that little tidbit. Shipping from Hong Kong to anywhere is going to cost more than $US 0.00, so you can't get it at $99.00 anywhere, except if you pick them up at their location in Hong Kong.
