If you haven’t heard of OLPC (one laptop per child) before, I think you’ll be impressed with what this company is doing to bring education to poor countries. They have manufactured a laptop that costs only $188 (which they hope will eventually only cost $100) that does just about everything a normal computer can do, and even a little more.

Dave Pogue, a tech editor for the NY Times, reviews the laptop here. I recommend checking out his video review there.

The laptop will be available for purchase for $400 for two weeks in November. It’s $400 because it’s a buy-one, give-one plan (you get one and one goes to someone else less fortunate). What a great idea. Thanks OLPC.
