The $100 laptops are now shipping
The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) says it has received the first 10 laptops from Quanta, a Taiwanese manufacturing company building the laptops. Still in a beta, the first 10 “B1″, (previously named CM1 aka Children’s Machine 1) laptops were hand-assembled before a larger 900-unit run will take place, according to the OLPC Wiki.
The B1 laptops run Linux and use an AMD Geode processor, and feature 128MB of memory with 500MB of flash memory for storage.
Watch a video of the first working OLPC prototype.
