Manufacturer Picked For $100 Laptop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the intel-ticked dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "MIT has picked Taiwanese firm Quanta to manufacture its $100 laptop. From PCWorld: 'Under terms of an agreement with One Laptop Per Child, Quanta will devote engineering resources to develop the $100 notebook design during the first half of the year, according to a statement issued by the group. At the same time, Quanta and the non-profit organization will explore the production of a commercial version of the laptop.'" Apparently they don't think it's ineffectual either.

    One laptop per child? If they used the manufacturers that Nike uses, they could surely turn out at least 3 laptops per child per day.
