Indian miracle for $ 10 was not a laptop!

As reported by ixbt.com :

An unbelievably cheap laptop, the prototype of which was shown yesterday, actually turned out to be ... an external drive ...

To access the information in it, Rs 500 should be connected to a laptop. A drive with an area of ​​approximately 25 x 12 cm will cost $ 30. Any other data about the device is missing. A ministry spokesman could not explain why in his previous speech he called the device a laptop.

Interestingly on the portal overclockers.ru some other information:

As it turned out, the XO's “student notebook” competitor at this stage in its development is only an Internet prefix that allows students to gain access to online tutorials.

What is the truth?
