Indian school boy builds a computer without a hard disk.

Guwahati schoolboy Afreed Islam has developed a prototype of a computer system that uses a microchip, embedded with an operating system, which allows dependencies on both Windows and Linux-based software simultaneously.

Afreed a student of Little Flower School, Hatigaon, has named his invention Revo Book. He says that the microchip replaced both mechanical and electronic hard disk drives that also doubles as a storage unit and therefore does not run the risk of data loss or system crash.

Let's see which OS big boy takes this down before it upsets the money making scheme that's in-place. Never mind the hardware manufacturers.....I would love to see this develop or rather what it can develop into.

He mentions about mechanical moving parts, what about SSDs?

What about disk space?

In the article, next to the mention of HDD, it uses the phrase "electronic hard disc's" ....not sure what is meant by that. It's all open to conjecture.
