DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Idea...

I was thinking... selling DSL Tablet computers to the masses. Make it so that the customer couldn't install Windows on at all and force the user to use Linux. Sell at about $799-$1699 and increase as demands get higher.

uuuuuhhhhh....

hmm...

You're kidding, yes?

That idea would be a very very quickly ended business venture...

Unless those laptops or tablets were insanely crazy powerful for that price people would shy away from it, and alot of people the word "linux" scares them!

Linux anyone ?

What a great DSL machine with just a little more ram!
Add that 256 MB stick for $54, and WooHoo !!!

Way to go Walmart!
I hope they continue to get stock on this version..

neo_trio, it's not bad about thinking of ways to make dsl money. I'm going to have to go with the crowd, though, and say that I think your price point is a little high. I like the idea of a bundle, but dsl might not be strong enough to represent Linux to it's fullest. A full install would be better off with a full debian install.

Perhaps a better solution would be to offer a CD along with the computer. Even 25 cent profit from the manufacturer for every computer would be a huge deal. Or a magazine: think of 1 cent on every magazine sold. It seems like a little but it adds up fast.
