One Laptop Per Child: What The Adults Now Want

One Laptop Per Child: What The Adults Now Want


The One Laptop Per Child laptop is so a laptop. Sure, it doesn't run Windows or have a hard disk, but it's more portable and rugged than any other so-called laptop out there. And that's the point.

While I dig the idealism behind OLPC, I dig the laptop itself as well. Features I wish would appear in more "conventional" laptops include:


  • Insane battery life, which I get with the Lenovo X60s, but that's with all the extended batteries installed.

  • A display that works with the processor suspended. That's one way they get the insane battery life.

  • A display that's readable in direct sunlight. Granted, it's monochrome mode, but it's better than nothing.

  • A water and dust-resistant keyboard.

  • Self-configuring mesh networklinks.



I'm willing to bet most people could get by on what the OLPC offers them. You don't need the highest performance machine on the block to get the job done.
