  Check out this article.

  I love the concept, but I\'m a little concerned about the after donation/purchase support with the Give One Get One. The web site doesn\'t tell you anything about that part. There\'s a lot of touchy-feely stuff about the organization and children across the world, and the computer\'s design and specs; but nothing relative to customer support. Granted, I understand that some poor child living in a hut isn\'t going to be dialing up 24/7 customer support centers, but service/warranty will be an issue for me when there\'s a technical problem and I\'ve got a disappointed kid at home trying to use his laptop.
  
  Again, I applaud the mission. I\'d just like more details. It also seems like they\'ve got some competitors in this market, one of them being the Asustek Eee PC which is supposed to be available to the general public at Best Buy and Newegg very soon--but you can\'t get the $199 model. That\'s just for big contract purposes.
  
  In the end, we\'ll probably end up going through with the OLPC XO; but look before you leap.

  Maybe they\'re banking on it being SO simple (look at the inside pics on their site) that if there\'s a need for repair, it\'ll be something Geek Squad (or equivalent service) can easily handle. OR that at $199, we\'ve now seen, like with disposable camcorders, the emergence of the \"throw away\" PC

  Cool looking, very useful and very reasonably priced as well. What's even better is that I've heard that it's price has already went down! Definitely gonna buy a pair for my two kids.

  Amazing! That laptop is a must buy. I would like to buy one for my child, but first I have to loan in the bank to have enough money, for I bought something that cost me too much.
