Nonprofit Introducing $100 Laptop For Children
The laptop will be distributed free to children as a tool to help them educate themselves.

Talk about being an optimist.
Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of MIT’s Media Lab, is heading up a project with the goal to distribute specially designed laptops, each with a price tag of less than $100, to more than 150 million schoolchildren within the next three years. That’s an amazing statistic, considering that PC makers will manufacture only about 50 million laptops this year.
In fact, getting manufacturing partners to produce so many laptops presents the program’s biggest hurdle. Negroponte says producing 150 million of anything is a significant challenge. Though daunting, he says, the problem is being solved by “mere resolve.”
Another problem that must be addressed by the not-for-profit group, One Laptop Per Child: a possible gray market in which laptops distributed free to children are instead illicitly sold by parents or others, especially those in third-world countries. One way to thwart this is allowing PC makers to manufacture commercial versions of the laptop at a relatively inexpensive price, say $200 each, with part of the profit going back to One Laptop Per Child.
Negroponte contends the laptop is a tool to help children teach themselves, a more cost-effective alternative than hiring additional teachers. “A lot of learning comes form explorations, interactions, curiosity,” Negroponte said Wednesday at an MIT emerging technology conference sponsored by Technology Review, an MIT magazine. “That’s how we learned how to walk, how to talk. It’s the kind of learning kids do very well. This [laptop] is a tool to make that more continuous, seamless versus … today, when we say at age 6, ‘Stop learning that way, and learn by being told by books and teachers.’”
A prototype of the laptop will debut in November at the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis, Tunisia. The first 5 million to 15 million laptops could be distributed by the end of next year or early 2007, with another 100 million to 150 million to be handed out a year later. The first countries to distribute the laptops will be Brazil, China, Egypt, South Africa, and Thailand.
How can One Laptop Per Child produce such a cheap laptop? Half the cost of a commercial laptop consists of sales, marketing, and distribution costs, as well as profit, items that don’t weigh down a laptop designed for a not-for-profit program. One Laptop Per Child will market the laptops directly to national ministries of education, which can distribute them like textbooks.
Commercial laptops require operating systems that can handle byte-intensive applications that Negroponte characterizes as fat and unreliable and which slow down laptop performance. Two-thirds of commercial laptops’ software manages the other thirds, which mostly does the same functions in a variety of different ways, he said.
The first-generation machine likely will employ a dual-mode LCD display found in inexpensive DVD players but that can also be used in black and white, in bright sunlight, and at four times the normal resolution–all at a cost of less $30.
Despite cost-cutting, these machines will be robust. Negroponte envisions a Linux-based, full-color, full-screen laptop that will use innovative sources of power–including wind-up–and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data. These rugged laptops will be Wi-Fi- and cell-phone-enabled, and have at least four USB ports. Its current specifications are: 500 MHz, 1 Gbyte, 1 megapixel.
Laptops distributed to schoolchildren in a specific area will create a peer-to-peer mesh network, a process developed at the MIT Media Lab.
Negroponte sees the $100 laptop program as a change agent in the way to educate children worldwide. “All we can do is seed the change,” he said, “and like Wikipedia grew, and like Linux grew, do [the same for] open-source education.”

If I buy a wireless notebook adapter, do I need to buy the router too? I found at walmart a Linksys wireless notebook adapter that has great reviews, but do I need to buy a linksys router to set up too? how does all of this work? im so lost in the world of wireless! please help! thanks!!! 
A wireless adapter allows your notebook/desktop wireless capabilities. However, you need the following to establish a wireless connection for your laptop:
1) Wireless card/adapter (Which you just purchased)
2) Broadband internet (DSL or cable)
3) Wireless router (to broadcast your signal)
After you have all three, establishing a secure, encrypted wireless network should be relatively simple. Just follow the wireless router manufacturer’s instructions.
Hi all,
I have scoured the web for a day or so now, and am stuggling to navigate certain sites because im on 56k (dont ask)
As you may have guessed from my internet connection, money is an issue for me, I am a student trying to get my most bang-for-buck when it comes to a new laptop. I don’t want to run crysis. Im talking entry level gaming, which turns out about mid level overall. It should run WoW fine ( mid settings) and get a good Fps on source games online. But to be honest whatever is possible, the faster the better.
AROUND £500 is the budget of course this can fluctuate according to the deal.
-What I require.
I have looked at various brands, specifically Dell, Acer and Asus. (please post if you know a small brand less costly alternative or whatever!) The latter 2 had fairly wierd sites that I didn’t find particularly productive. I do however want this kind of thing…
– ANY SIZE SCREEN, cheapest
– Any speakers, cheapest
– Warranty bear minimum
– I do not care about accessories 
(inc. mouse webcam, fingerprint)
——————-MAIN STUFF———————-
–HDD
## —– HDD bigger than 120gb. 160 would probably be most price efficient( I don’t see many under 250 now that arent with expensive extras)
– Operating system – At the moment it seems all new laptops come with vista as standard, and xp AS WELL costs more. As soon as I get this, I plan to dig up drivers for the model and downgrade to xp sp3, because for laptops at this price, I am certain that It is more efficient, (my friend downgaded his Amilo pi2515 and saw at least a 30-40% game performance increase) So if there are any deals that have xp instead, this would be amazing because it would be cheaper too (or just drivers, and let me supply OS, but thats a long shot). but I have come to terms with having vista initially. No macs please. (gaming)
## —– Prefer xp for price and speed, if impossible, downgrade from vista manually = ok
– Processor – At the moment it seems that intel core 2 duo is the way to go (amd is not competing in the budget department),
## —– Minimum T5870. THIS AND GPU ARE KEY COMPONENTS
– GPU – Must have dedicated graphics, an ati HD 3650 would be sweet, so would a 8600M GT, but seriously, this and cpu are VERY IMPORTANT,
## —– Minimum, has to be dedicated (so ati or nvidia)
– RAM – as I am planning to downgrade to XP, i am aware that it can’t handle more than 3gb. (Maybe windows seven will save the day here) Under 4gb really, but min 1-2gb.
## —– Minimum 1gb max 3gb.
– wireless
## —– Do not care if not included.
– Optic drive, do not care .
##SUMMARY##
CPU and GPU are really the key parts. a t8100 or a t8300 would be perfect, a radeon HD 3650 would also be perfect (or nvidia equivalent), I plan to use xp eventually, so keep ram in mind.
It sounds very specific, but some rough answers would be nice, If you can find me something that suits the summary, you dont just get a medal or brownie points, you get best answer AND, I will make a few other questions and give you best answer on those too. so, Prize, is x3 best answers. (depends on how perfect answer is 
)
Many many many thanks to any help at all,
Lith

If you can find any reviews of the laptop that’d be helpful
ebay has a nice dell latitude d600 that comes with word processing programs, a wireless internet card, and plenty of memory
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/csrtechnologie
I usually surf 14 hours a day and need a good reliable laptop…… anyone know of a good deal costing less than $400?
I will be signing up for wireless internet (because this is a rural area with no wi-fi) with AT&T so I also need to know if the laptop is compatible with their aircard.
only want brand new ones.
special focus on laptops just in
