Do you Want to Buy a Hundred Linux Laptop?
One Laptop Per Child, a.k.a. OLPC, hopes to bring inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world. And guess what? They are now considering the possibility of allowing these $100 machines to be purchased by the general public. And yes that means you! For them, it’s not about the money, but rather hopes of bringing inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world.
OLPC is considering the plan that the computers would be offered to customers who would have to purchase a minimum of two laptops at a time — with the second going to the developing world.
So, you might be wondering what the specs are right?
-500MHz processor
-128MB of DRAM
-500MB of Flash memory (no hard disk)
-four USB ports
-wireless broadband
-Linux-based Operating System
-dual-mode display (both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3× the resolution)
not bad for 100$.. i wouldn’t mind getting one..
