XO Laptop
What is the XO Laptop?
The XO Laptop is an impactful learning tool designed and built especially for children in developing countries, living in some of the most remote environments. As such, it has several features you won’t find on any other laptop.
For starters, the XO Laptop is about the size of a small textbook and made with a rugged plastic exterior. It has built-in wireless and a unique screen that works in full color or black and white to make it readable under direct sunlight for children who go to school outdoors. And finally the XO Laptop’s ultra-low power using only about 4 watts of power (most laptops use about 60 watts). This means, when there’s no electricity, the XO Laptop can be recharged with alternate power sources like solar power.
