Turns out the computer series has a number of generations now, but it's never been marketed in developed nations and they have moved on to a tablet. I think they dumped the windup. There is much more at wiki. This is a couple of excerpts. The XO-1, previously known as the $100 Laptop,[2] Children's Machine,[3] and 2B1,[4] is an inexpensive subnotebook computer intended to be distributed to children in developing countries around the world,[5] to provide them with access to knowledge, and opportunities to "explore, experiment and express themselves" (constructionist learning).[6] The laptop is developed by the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization and manufactured by Quanta Computer. en.wikipedia.org Power options include batteries, solar power panels, and human-powered generators, which make the XO self-powered equipment. 10 batteries at once can be charged from the school building power in the XO multi-battery charger (see photo). The low power consumption combined with these power options are useful in many countries that lack a power infrastructure where students would use it. en.wikipedia.org * * *
