The XO Laptop was created by the One Laptop per Child organization. The goal of the XO Laptop is to provide rugged, portable computing to the world's poorest children. This means that the XO has to be cheap, efficient, and sturdy.
The 433 MHz processor powering this laptop sips power, which is very important in places where electricity may be scarce, or not available at all. With 256mb of RAM, a 1200 x 900 resolution screen that is visible in bright sunlight, powerful mesh wireless network functionality even when the CPU is powered down, a color webcam, and a microphone, it is amazing that this laptop is being made available for only $150.
The XO Laptop is definitely a historic laptop both for its grand visionary effort to provide computers to children around the world, and for its amazing price and specifications.
