Man Makes Homemade iPad to Surprise his Girlfriend

What would inspire you to make a computer from scratch? When Wei Jin-Long wanted to get an iPad for his girlfriend, but couldn't afford it, he decided to build one himself.  Jin-Long, who is a student at the Art & Design Department at Northeast Normal University in Changchun, China, said he studied Internet video programs on how to make tablet PCs and then bought a refurbished laptop computer to start with.  The old laptop came with a main board, video card, CPU and screen.  Jin-Long bought the touch screen and the battery online to complete his masterpiece for a grand total of about $125. He even hand-carved and polished all the holes to give it a more professional look.  Completing the custom tablet took him ten days to finish, but he told The China Daily News that it allows its user to "read, download, watch movies, [and] play games by just touching the screen."  After receiving her gift, Jin-Long's girlfriend Sun Shasha said, "this is the best gift I've ever had, and I will keep it forever."  He designed the tablet to resemble an iPad, with an Apple logo and all.  Shasha added rhinestone around the edges to personalize it eve more.  So what's the biggest difference between Wei's tablet and an actual iPad?  Wei's tablet runs Window's 7, not the MAC operating system.
