New Delhi, Nov.8 (ANI): Chinese computer manufacturer Quanta has started production of 100-dollar laptops at a factory in Changshu.
According to a China Daily report, the first machines have started rolling off the production line, five years after the concept was first proposed.
The machine has no moving parts and can be easily maintained. It has a sunlight-readable display that allows children to use it outside and, importantly for areas with little access to electricity, it is ultra low power and can be charged by a variety of devices including solar panels.
One Laptop per Child (OLPC), the group behind the project, said that children in developing countries would begin receiving machines this month
Last month, OLPC received its first official order for 100,000 machines from the Government of Uruguay.
