The XO Laptop - Give 1, Get 1

Filed Under Technology |  

The OLPC has instituted their “Give a laptop. Get a laptop.” program again this year. If you’re not familar with the XO laptop, it’s a cool little deviced in a pretty small package. The picture at left shows the XO sitting next to a Dell XPS with a 15″ display (click to enlarge).

The OLPC offered the same deal around the same time last year when I ordered mine, and their was quite a backlog. It took almost six months for them to ship, so if you’re interested in getting your hands on the XO, it might be wise to place the order soon.

You can order your XO through Amazon. For $399, you give a laptop to a child in need, and also get your own laptop.
