If we have not covered Jointech's JL7100 which is being offered at the dirt cheap price of $99, the Impulse NPX-9000 could probably be the world's cheapest laptop so far. But then of course, we also have consider the specs of both laptops in determining which one is really cheaper.

To have a better idea, take a look at these specs of the Impulse NPX-9000:

• 400 MHz MIPS CPU
• 7" Analog Screen
• 128 MB SDRAM
• 1 GB Flash Memory
• 80 Key English Keyboard & Touch Pad
• Linux O.S.
• Connectors: SD Card Slot, VGA Port, USB x 3, Mini USB, Microphone and Earphone Jack
• AC Adaptor and Accessories
• External USB LAN or 802.11g WiFi dongle (optional)

With those features, the Impulse NPX-9000 certainly beats the Jointech's JL7100 big time. But here's the catch, the NPX-9000 is available only in Alibaba.com for a bulk order of 100 units.

But at $130 a piece, it certainly is the cheapest laptop to date.
