Nobody said the “O” in OLPC project meant one-hundred dollars. The One Laptop Per Child Project is now accepting orders and donations for these hand-cranks rigs.
For a $200 donation, you get to send a poor child in a developing nation one of these laptops. For $399, they’d send you one to your home and give away the other one as donation.
Yeah, the $100 laptop is now $200. Guess somebody needs to get some profits, eh?
Starting November 12, One Laptop Per Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. If you’re interested in Give 1 Get 1, we’ll be happy to send you a reminder email. Just sign up in the box to the left and you’ll receive your reminder prior to the November 12 launch date.
You can sign-up here and leave your email address to be notified when the open orders to the public or you can use your Paypal account to just donate one laptop for $200.

Vance,
Does this Medison laptop ship to the Philippines? I would love to get one for my kids to use for school projects.
that i don’t know.. but you can check their site out.. I think 2checkout.com is the one selling this product.
Vance,
terrific specs for the price. Does it come with warranty?
So that means included din tayo sa mga pede nilang padalan ng xo laptop? I’ve seen the prototype of that ata sa Convergence were sa plastic casing pa ang gamit, and now its a real real laptop?
I guess so… I’m not selling the product or something I just read it from another site about 2-3 months ago. I’ve also included above the link for details..
peace..
