Chinese man makes Windows 7 tablet for girlfriend for $125

Would you like to have a $125 touch screen tablet that run Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system? If so, you might want to speak to the Chinese student who reportedly created such a device recently as a present for his girlfriend. Geek.com reports that the student wanted to buy a tablet device off the shelf for his girlfriend but couldn't afford the price.

The student, Wei Xinlong, has some apparent skills in PC hardware assembly. The report claims he bought a cheap $78 notebook and removed a lot of its hardware inside. He then proceeded to create a new case around the notebook and also bought a touch screen and battery to make the device look more like a tablet. The final cost, at least in terms of hardware, turned out to be $125, although we suspect the labor that he took to make the tablet would make the device cost even more if it was not made as a present.

Xinlong then gave his DIY tablet creation to his girlfriend, Sun Shasha, who apparently loved his present so much she proceeded to do what a lot of girls do when they get a new tablet or a smartphone; she added rhinestones around the edge of the tablet's casing.

So the lesson here is if you really want a Windows 7 tablet, and you can find some cheap parts, you too can become an Internet sensation and make yourself a tablet PC.

chinese local electronic products are likely to explode due to low quality battery... wonder what's the intention of this guy doing? HA
 
No... I can see his plan.

Low quality battery with a shitty life.. he'll replace it every so often so it doesn't explode, then if they break up he won't and it'll catch on fire/explode :D
 
have to say
chines guys are really talanted no matter if they modify the existing equipment
and that what every big companies do
 
the Chinese are indeed talented. but it's pathetic when most of them just find work-around to cheat or make fake stuff, even some poisonous stuff to earn fast money.
