The $100 Laptops are Coming Out Soon

The year 2007 is already here and the highly publicized $100 laptop is going to get its way into students’ hand, and it has a mixed acceptance according to the news. It is only those who are in charge of the project that have full confidence on the simplified laptop that is expected to change how students in the developing nation are going to be educated. For most, it is going to be the first computer that they will encounter and there is no denying the fact that it will be a useful encounter that might last a lifetime. The XO machine is unique in everything, which means there is no any computer that works like it, and what makes it unique is its simplicity. The horsepower the tiny XO is boasting is not more than 366-megahertz and it does not have a hard disk drive. It uses a 512 megabytes of flash memory, but since it has USB 2.0 ports it is possible to add more storage.

As an experiment, at least it will take time before the benefit is assessed and a number ofcountries are expected to receive the XO at around February. The economic problem is still on the top of the list where the battery requires to be charged and it will have to be frequently, which means it will have no use in areas where electricity is not available, and maybe it could only be useful in the urban centers of the developing countries. Countries such as India has withdrawn from participating and Brazil that has a similar computer that uses Intel and cost $400 has said it will wait and see. The conclusion is it could end up being an expensive toy governments and participating foundations will be buying for disadvantaged third world kids and if not much there will be some gain definitely, except that skeptics are saying it is not worth the effort, which will take time to judge.
