Shipping an 8-pound package from the US to India, (Rough guess of the weight of "a cheap laptop"), runs $22.59USD (customs fees may raise that number) == 982.66 Rupees. http://www.xe.net/ucc/ for currency conversions. I can get 486 laptops for $100 pretty easily. 386 laptops go on eBay for as little as $25 or so. If you want only part of the laptop, that can be arranged. (i.e. if you want the screen removed to lighten the machine.) Mark -- I re-ship for small US & overseas businesses, world-wide.
