OLPC XO XD!

OLPC Green LaptopI just got my XO laptop from the One Laptop Per Child give one get one program, and I’m happy. It’s a lean green Linux machine and it’s all mine for $423.95 (and one additional laptop was donated to some poor child).

I ordered it a few weeks ago when they announced the program because ever since Zvi Devir’s Haifux talk I wanted to have one. It’s small, relatively lightweight and runs Linux.

  2. It’s not in place of the old laptop — the OLPC has very limited CPU power and storage space. I will probably take it with me on travel when I don’t need my full laptop.
