Looks like a scam. There is an update on the 1st link you gave stating they feel it is a probable scam too.

Oh well... would have been nice.

I would have bought it for that price. ;)

I hear you can get Dell with Ubuntu....

Here is another link of a legit company.

Medison, a small Swedish PC company, claims they will sell a basic Linux-based laptop for only 150 US dollars. But the company has been called in question in blogs, forums, and news articles, because the computer shown on the company's web site seems very similar to a laptop from another producer.

I would still get either an Acer or a Dell.

If you have troubles who will you look to for support?

And if you expect to get $1000 machines for $150, I have a lakeside view of Oatman, Arizona to sell you.

(Google the town- it is real!)

I don't care if it's only $500 worth of notebook, it's worth it to pay $150 if it actually comes to pass...
