The ‘$100 Laptop’ May Be a Glimpse of the Future

June 08th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

You’ve no doubt heard of the “$100 laptop” project. The first iteration, the XO 1.0 — a.k.a. the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) laptop — looks like a toy for baby aliens, but is largely a conventional laptop. A prototype of the next version was unveiled last month, and it looks a lot like the laptop you’re going to

buy in five years. No, I’m not kidding. Your laptop will look and operate more or less like the XO 2.0. It’s a brilliant — and prescient — design. The most conspicuous and best feature is that the BOTTOM HALF OF THE CLAMSHELL IS A SCREEN, just like the top half.
