So I was browsing in reddit and found out this new project for the cheap computer called CHIP. Basically, it's a $9 computer which for additional $40 can be bought with a PocketCHIP. It contains battery, keyboard and a screen which turns it into a portable computer for $49.
As soon as I saw it, my first thought was "this would be a perfect burner computer". Especially for big time dealers. I imagine they could easily be used for dnm activities and having one of these would mean that there is no more need to worry about OPSEC. Just use it once or twice and throw it away. Use public wi-fi, keep swapping places and pretty much the only thing that you have to worry about is physical OPSEC.
The project is still in development stages but if anyone's interested, you can start donating now:

What are your thoughts?
Can someone find that thread where a vendor said he got a new laptop for a grand every two weeks to vend? Shit was hilarious.
