Hot
off the production line, the low-power laptops designed for children in
developing countries are the most environmentally friendly computer
available today.
The XO laptops were created by the One Laptop
Per Child initiative, which aims to make low-cost computers available
to children who often don’t have access to electricity. Earlier this
month, the first mass produced XOs started rolling off the assembly
line of a Chinese factory.
