$100 Laptops Now Online [Edit]

Amazon.com Sells Hand-Crank Laptop


$100 Laptops Now Online - Amazon.com Sells Hand-Crank Laptop 1,394 Views - Click for Larger Image

For all of you that missed out on last year’s opportunity to get your hands on one of the most important computers designed in recent history, and do your bit for the developing world at the same time, there is a second chance! The laptop in question has been developed for the much talked-about One Laptop Per Child initiative, with the aim of providing a sub $100 computer for each child in developing nations. 

In order to avoid the issues experienced when the OLPC programe ran the same initiative last year, Amazon has been chosen to run a program to enable United States residents to buy one of the most innovative laptops invented (that can also be powered by a hand wound generator) and for every computer sold, a second laptop will be donated to a child in a developing country. The computer will be available from November until the end of the year. This is set to be a design classic, as some of the industry’s best have worked on the project and pioneered many innovations to reduce the cost to near the $100 benchmark cost. Don’t miss out this time around.
