OLPC XO Touch 1.75 |
The One Laptop Per Child project has this mission to equip every
child worldwide with an affordable laptop that can be used as a learning
tool. The OLPC project has been forging on with this objective by
coming up with better models as well as establishing partnerships to
help them in this mission. One of the results is the introduction of the
new OLPC XO Touch 1.75 combined laptop and tablet.
The OLPC XO Touch 1.75 is a colorful laptop and tablet combo that
aims to keep in step with the current devices of today. It comes with a
7.5 inch multi-touch display, a product of OLPC’s recent partnership
with Neonode. The screen is also eco-friendly consuming only 2W of power
and also features a sunlight-readable display. The TFT-LCD display
rotates 180 degrees and can fall flat on the keyboard for some truly
tablet function.
The OLPC XO Touch 1.75 is designed to be used by those who otherwise
would not have ready access to such devices. They are considered to be
more affordable than the consumer standard devices similar to it.
Availability of the laptop tablet combo is not yet known, as with its
final target price. It remains to be seen whether its partnership with
Neonode will eventually decrease or increase its price.
