This is the laptop that the OLPC program is delivering. The idea is to get functional but very low cost (about $100.00/unit) laptops delivered mainly to underprivileged children in third world countries. The fun part is that if you buy one for $199.00 you get one and a child somewhere else gets one too (read more). Appareantly India is on board with the idea (read article). You can read more about at the OLPC website, which includes the laptop specs. What an amazing age we live in where we can get kids onto Facebook but can't sufficiently feed them...but I guess increasing their knowledge of the world can only enhance their opportunities for the future. Kinda like teaching them to fish instead of giving fish to them. What do you think?
