A Look at the Next Generation of OLPC XO Laptops

malware · May 20, 2008

This morning in Cambridge, Mass., at OLPC's Global Country Workshop, OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte announced the second generation of OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) XO laptops. Negroponte didn't share many details about the XO 2.0's hardware, but from the quick press coverage we can learn that the XO 2.0 will be half the size of the original machine, and will boast one-of-a-kind flip design with two touch sensitive displays. "The next generation laptop should be a book," Negroponte said. The design will provide a right and left page in vertical format, a hinged laptop in horizontal format, and a flat, two-screen continuous surface for use in tablet mode. "Younger children will be able to use simple keyboards to get going, and older children will be able to switch between keyboards customized for applications as well as for multiple languages," the press release reads. The XO 2.0 is scheduled to be released in 2010 with a price tag of $75, but this sounds a bit unrealistic at this point, after all we are still in 2008.

$75 bucks! Really doubt it. They cannot make there current model for $100.

$75 is way too cheap. This is just more BS.

newbielives · May 20, 2008

A Nintendo DS cost more than 75$
Agreed, I highly doubt the price is accurate

panchoman · May 20, 2008

Well I know that the current OLPC, at the moment cost, about $190 dollars to manufacture. NO where near close to $100.

maybe if we are using nano tech and everything is cheaper i could believe it.

Triprift · May 21, 2008

They really need to work on the looks: From the outside, it looks like some kind of bath-time chew-resistant green playbook.
But other than that, I'd get one!
