How to use at home

  • keep it in the kitchen to use for recipes
  • take it outside during a lunch break to read the latest news
  • take it to the beach / road trip to read (instead of a paperback)
  • take it to a coffee shop and surf the web
  • take it to a social event to meet new people through the mesh networking
  • develop applications for it / use it for testing
  • take it traveling around the world, where battery life, portability, and durability is important

How to use in my holidays

  • if I am on a long travel I do not have to fear that my laptop is shutting down because of empty batteries.
  • use it as my personal diary wherever I am
  • take it to the swimming-pool and download/read online newspapers/ magazines, which I have subscribed

How to use on the campus

  • convince all my fellow students (at least 10 people) that this is a must have on the campus and then I would stay in contact anytime (from 8 am till 8 pm) and anywhere (library, lecture, cafeteria, at home) without paying lots of money.
  • convince all my fellow student that this is a must have on the campus and then I would found a club named "hey, this is an even cooler gadget than your iPhone"
  • convince all my fellow student that this is a must have on the campus and everytime I miss the lecture I would contact one and please him to audio-record the lecture and sent it later to me with all available online scripts
  • contact the fellow student, with whom I have to take part in a study project and convince him that this XO laptop is a must have, because we can work out our joint thesis in parallel online on the campus or worldwide.
