No this is not Shrek! This is the laptop from the project project "One Laptop per Child" whose purpose was to provide a computer children of the poorest countries.
It has been tested by experts in the ICT (Information Technologies and Communication for Education) before being distributed to developing countries in 2008: Verdict?
- Design: Attractive but criticized for its "toy"
- Specifications:
- Low storage capacity! 256 MB of RAM and 1GB of flash memory for data storage! But ... it's just the use they will necessarily be different from what we can do. It is clear 1GB is a key sometimes just for us!
- WiFi connection that is still unsatisfactory
- 3 USB ports, same verdict: The key is sometimes not recognized and nothing indicates that it has been identified or nonMicro PC for a featherweight! It is only for children, look at the human mass next to this little item! One wonders if he can type with his big fingers!
- Food: it is a compact charger and a dynamo could also be grafted to the device. No need to taken, it will reload manually. Rather clever when you know the difficulties of developing countries.
- A user e-book very clever uses less energy, it is also possible to see the display in bright sunlight!
Limitations: The primary purpose of this operation was to make technology and knowledge accessible to a larger number even in poor countries. To reduce costs to a minimum, an open source environment has been preferred, however, the cost been scheduled for initial $ 100 may be revised upward to around $ 180. This opens up competition to other projects such as the Intel Classmate PC!
