One Laptop Per Child: What The Adults Now Want
Filed in archive Laptops by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on October 24, 2007

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 network
