Intel has announced that it will support the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, reversing its long-standing opposition to the proposal. This OLPC project is made to put computers in the hands of poor children around the world. This goal comes by developing a personal computer that should be put into production in September at a cost of $176, the XO Laptop.
Analysts who have seen early versions of the XO laptop say the group has made breakthroughs in developing a low-cost, high-resolution color screen that can switch into a black-and-white for viewing in the sunlight. They have also praised its low-energy consumption technology, which allows it to be run on hand-crank-generated power, and its durable construction.
The foundation hopes to sell thousands of the cheap laptops to government agencies around the world, so that they can be given to impoverished elementary school children at no cost.
