I saw this on another forum and immediately thought about all the Linux Highlanders.

Chinese retailers have started selling a miniature Linux computer that is housed in a 3.5-inch plastic case slightly larger than a USB thumb drive. Individual units are available online for $74.

The small computer has an AllWinner A10 single-core 1.5GHz ARM CPU, a  Mali 400 GPU, and 512MB of RAM. An HDMI port on the exterior allows  users to plug the computer into a television. It outputs at 1080p and is  said to be capable of playing high-definition video.

Neat. With something like that, a tv and wireless keyboard and mouse a lot of folk will not need a ordinary pc at all.
