Negroponte Unveils $100 Laptop
By W. David Gardner
June 9,2006

Courtesy of TechWeb News The first working model of the $100 One Laptop Per Child made its debut this week at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston where lunch can cost $100. Unveiled by Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder of the MIT Media Lab, the machine didn’t have a hand crank for power, but it was noted that it would use less then two watts of power. A final version, however, could have a hand crank. Negroponte was inducted into the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange (MITX) Hall of Fame at the event. Press reports indicated that the rugged laptop, with a bright new display, was well-received. Negroponte is leading a program designed to bring inexpensive computing to children in undeveloped and developing nations around the world.
