August 03rd, 2007 | Category: Laptops

To say the least, Sweden’s Medison has attracted a fair bit of skepticism with its promise to release a $150 Linux-based laptop. The company looks to be doing its best to dissuade those naysayers, however, recently assembly with a group of Swedish journalists to assemble its case. While it apparently “did not precisely strengthen its credibility,” according to Computer Sweden, Medison did reveal a few new details, including a promised August 15th delivery moment (at least for the

first batch of units). The company additionally said that the laptop will not be its primary source of income, with it instead expecting to produce most of its money from advertisements on its website (mainly from accessory-makers and the like). Further adding to intrigue/ridicule surrounding the company, Medison’s Valdi Ivancic reportedly plus dropped the bomb that he’s considering declaring his candidacy for Prime Minister of Sweden.
