Finally, the OLPC XO laptop will soon be accessible to individuals who have been wanting to take part in this worthy cause. OLPC has announced that it will start selling the XO Laptop through Amazon.com on November 17. The XO Laptop will sold through Amazon the G1G1 program where individuals will have to pay for one laptop for the price of two units. The other laptop will be donated to a corresponding child in a developing country.
This would certainly help the OLPC in getting more mileage on their worthy project. However, there seems to be one glitch on this deal. The OLPC XO laptop that will be sold in Amazon will only have the Linux OS. No Windows XP version will be sold. I wonder how easily the recipient kids would be able to adopt to Linux as an OS for the XO?
The XO Laptop will initially be sold through Amazon’s US storefront only but there might be chance that it would also be available in other countries later on.
New laptop demands proper planning. It must suit your needs. While purchasing a new laptop, one must think about his purpose behind the purchase. Why are you going to need it? Is it some simple regular work or hi-tech graphics usage? This factor will largely determine your budget and specific models. If one just needs to use net with office functions, then even a simple, no-frills laptop will work fine.
Technically factors need to be watched are;
- HDD space, RAM and processor.
- GB hard disk with 1 GB of RAM.
- DVD combo drive and speaker quality.
- Battery life is also very crucial for persons with need of spending long hours on laptop.
