  18. What is the XO Laptop?

  19. What is the XO Laptop? Specifications • Hardware: • CPU: 433 MHzAMD Geode LX-700 at 0.8 watts, with integrated graphics controller; • 1200×900 7.5 inch (19 cm) diagonal LCD (200 dpi) that uses 0.1 to 1.0 W depending on mode. The two modes are: • Reflective (backlight off) monochrome mode for low-power use in sunlight. This mode provides very sharp images for high-quality text. • Backlit color mode, with an alternance of red, green and blue pixels. See below for details.

  20. What is the XO Laptop? Specifications • Hardware: • 256 MB of Dual (DDR266) 133 MHz DRAM (in 2006 the specification called for 128 MB of RAM); • 1024 kB (1 MB) flash ROM with open-source Open Firmware; • 1024 MB of SLC NANDflash memory (in 2006 the specifications called for 512 MB of flash memory); • Internal SD card slot; • Wireless networking using an “Extended Range” 802.11b/g and 802.11s (mesh) Marvell 8388 wireless chip, chosen due to its ability to autonomously forward packets in the mesh even if the CPU is powered off. When connected in a mesh, it is run at a low bitrate (2 Mbit/s) to minimize power consumption. Despite the wireless chip's minimalism, it supports WPA.[31] An ARM processor is included.

  21. What is the XO Laptop? Specifications • Hardware: • Dual adjustable antennas for diversity reception. • Water-resistant membrane keyboard, customized to the locale in which it will be distributed.
