The XO computer, developed by the One Laptop Per Child project, is slated to ship to schoolchildren in developing countries in 2007. Hardware specifications are not final. A look at the current specs:
Size: Comparable to a big textbook, at roughly 8 inches by 9 inches by 2.5 inches and approximately 4 pounds. The case closes tightly to guard against dust and water and the keyboard is under a sealed rubber membrane.
Central processing unit: An Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Geode GX, a low-power chip with a clock speed of 366 megahertz.
Memory: 128 megabytes of system memory and 512 megabytes of flash-based data storage. Three USB 2.0 ports allow for additional storage or other peripherals to be plugged in.
Display: A rotating, 7.5-inch liquid-crystal display that can toggle between standard color and a reflective monochrome. Resolution is 1200 pixels by 900 pixels and 200 dots per inch.
Power: Has an AC adapter and a rechargeable battery as well as mechanical power via a hand-pull system like a lawnmower starter. Project designers expect to deliver about 10 minutes of power for every one minute of yanking.
