Gift Guide: OLPC XO-1 Laptop
OLPC XO-1 Laptop (Kids, Under $500)
The OLPC foundation?short for One Laptop Per Child?was founded with the goal of developing and then sending out a low-power, low-cost but fully functional computer to as many kids in developing countries as possible. It's a pretty great idea. But they're now available to us first-world types as well, so you can let your kiddies in on the fun with what is actually a really cool little notebook. To help the movement, OLPC partnered with Amazon to offer the XO-1 for $399, with a second laptop being sent free through the organization to a needy kid. Let's just hope all those newly networked kids out there don't find out about 'WoW' or our clan is gonna get whupped.
Price: $399
