[Its.an.education.project] Sugar on the EEE PC

[John Watlington]

The XO has a good reason for existance (MLJ's display, and attention  
to low power design).
Ignoring the fact that most of the new "low-cost" laptops require  
much more power ---
a serious problem in the most underserved areas --- the price trend  
is for the second
generation of the "low cost" laptops to head back to $500.
The Asus 900 has a suggested list of $550 ?

A comparison of the possible XO replacements is provided as an  
attachment.
The information comes from:

everex_24.html

Cheers,
wad
