$100 laptop gets a maker

Nicholas Negroponte’s project One Laptop Per Child moves on and his vision about making and selling a portable computer for the neat sum of 100$ they’ve now taken one important step towards reaching reality. A couple of weeks ago we reported about the frst demo product that had been displayed and now the project has also made an agreement with a manufacturer. It’s now just any manufacturer either but the Taiwanese company Quanta, which is the world’s largest manufacturer of portable computers. The first computers are expected to arrive on the market during the fourth quarter of next year and as you know it is the kids in the third world that will get a hold of these cheap computers.
