Thats a laptop from iWebLeaf. Never went into production and there were too many loopholes in their story to believe it was true. First, they used a DXA16 processor created by them(two college students) and second, a chinese laptop that looked the same and had intel N455 was found for 5k.

I don't know about that. But can you suggest any ? :)
Can't really suggest. India has actually launched a tablet running Android for kids under 5k. (not launched, but will come soon)

There's no laptop/netbook for that price.

Yes, Samsung N100 MeeGo edition is the cheapest netbook offer by such a renowned company and moreover it is a revamped model of very popular N150 netbooks. You can have it between 12,290-12,799Rs. This is a very tough and durable model but the machine is not so powerful for a netbook. But for that price, Samsung N100 should really be a good investment.

Another MeeGo machine is coming to the market from Asus for around the same price and configuration.
Other cheaper netbooks are available in market, but you should do research before buying any one of them.
