nilayz Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The MIT Media Laboratory expects to launch a prototype of its US$100 laptop in November. http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/09/29/mit/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eTronicGaming Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The laptop can be powered either with an AC adapter or via a wind-up crank, which is stored in the housing of the laptop where the hinge is located. The laptops will have a 10 to 1 crank rate, so that a child will crank the handle for one minute to get 10 minutes of power and use. When closed, the hinge forms a handle and the AC cord can function as a carrying strap, according to Negroponte. The laptops will be ruggedized and probably made of rubber, he said. They will have four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, be Wi-Fi- and cell phone enabled and come with 1GB of memory. It's the crank part that worries me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
