First Review of Intel's New Classmate PC

Posted by timothy on from the want-one-already dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Intel gave the press a sneak preview of its 3rd generation Classmate PC at IDF. It looks like this guy managed to kidnap the only working sample for a while and write up a full report. It looks like a major departure from the original, with a rotating touch screen and Atom processor. There's no official word on pricing yet, but no doubt the OLPC guys will try to rain on Intel's parade."

    If it were inevitable, surely anonymous could have had the taste to wait for it to happen, then crow about it?

    Intel isn't a monopoly anymore with AMD becoming more than just a clone manufacturer of x86 CPUs.

    I suppose those various anti-trust investigations in various countries were just a horrible case of mistaken identity?

    Yeah, that's it; they were actually after the other Intel that has a monopoly in the earwax removal market but they always get it confused with the perfectly innocent chip maker.

    Those heartless corporate bastards at OLPC would love to steal some of Intel's glory by cloning their flagship humanitarian effort.
