Cheap and compact PC for Schools - Idea

[beha]

Knowing that manufacturers are visiting this site, I would like to present idea for cheap PC, usable especially in (but not limited to) schools:

- It should be built inside keyboard. Everyone needs keyboard to use PC, so no reason to use TV box form _and_ separate wireless keyboard. This way there are less cables around. Plus points for keyboard with backlight and international keyboard layouts. Check "Rapoo E9080" for design.

- Device must have wifi and bluetooth built-in.

- At least 4 GB on RK3288, but rather 8 GB of RAM on 64-bit ARM CPU.

- This device needs at least 4 ports: displayport or DVI or HDMI 2, 2xUSB, SDXC card as bootable hard disk (Ubuntu / ChromeOS options). And of course power cable. Plus points for integrated tuchpad or ethernet port..

- Price of device should be $200 or less for 10+ pieces

For schools, we need something like this, badly! Note that it doesn't need any batteries or additional peripherals, except TV/monitor (and mouse if integrated touchpad is not there).

A couple of years ago I bought one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007W66BRG/ ... see also http://liliputing.com/2012/08/great-...-keyboard.html ... it worked fine running Ubuntu.

Sounds good, BUT...

First one uses HDD, where I think flash (SDXC) is way more appropriate for such device.

Both use Atom instead of ARM, so price is not right.

For teaching computer programming 8GB of RAM is needed, or at least 4GB.

I also found some manufacturers that simply put Wintel PC into keyboard, but comparing to sexy and cheap device I propose above, its all sort of half-assed, missing this or that, DIY project or just too expensive (Eee keyboard was $600!). Usually in these devices touchpad, backlight, bluetooth are all missing, but they have often DVD RW! I mean, how stupid that is...
