150 Million OLPC Laptops To World Children By 2010


Five million to come to the end of 2500 and distributed at the end of the month, and founded the organization "XO laptop" is still U.S. $ 150 to manufacture, $ 50 more than the target of U.S. $ 100 laptop. One Laptop per Child (OLPC), and representatives say they will keep the specifications of your laptop, OLPC is stable in a campaign to reduce costs, rather than adding new features to achieve the goal of $ 100.

It can be expected to be achieved in 2010 when 150 million mobile X is expected to be shipped all over the world - said to be of interest, because Microsoft enough to make many of the laptops will not run Microsoft Windows, when and how to take seriously Microsoft knows - told me a few months ago that Nicholas Negroponte invited Microsoft to develop a version of Windows, suitable for devices that Microsoft is investigating the matter.

XO is also said to have called a "toolbox" rather than the computer itself, but with the passage of time X-capacity greater with more knowledge of Linux is the operating system on the grounds that X would be true computing power. Taiwanese notebook giant Quanta with factories in China and Taiwan is to build a laptop unique and offers a variety of features that appear to be ideal for use in all children, not only in third world countries without ready access to electricity or other services, we are of the things reported in the West.

Punched use its expertise to build laptops for companies including Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard to keep the price down as low as possible while achieving a small profit. PC Advisor magazine quoted a representative of OLPC, says that "OLPC is a nonprofit organization, but Quanta is a contract, in relation to corporate earnings, and we can not charge a fee for issuing laptops."
