Re:Chinese netbooks break $100 mark... by onreact-com on Friday August 14, 2009 @06:49AM (#762765)
Well, you can't compare the OLPC with this here. The only thing they have in common is the projected price.

The OLPC has been built years ago and almost matched the 100$ price.

Also the OLPC XO is high tech that will work even in sub-Saharan Africa while this thing here will break before reaching Africa.

The OLPC did not work out as well as planned because governments did not buy enough of them so it's rather a mistake to work with governments on such a project.
