The first working prototype of the $100 Laptop was unveiled at the [[Country Task Force Meeting]], 23 May 2006. (See [http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete/sets/72057594143224765/ Flickr] for more images.) This was first time we had combined the |

One thing that might be somewhat misleading is the display; we plan to ship a display that is bigger and of a higher resolution than the one pictured. We plan to ship a 7.5-inch diagonal display with 1200×900 pixels vs. the 7.0-inch diagonal display with 800×480 pixels seen in the prototype. |

Why do children in developing nations need laptops? Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration. |

About One Laptop per Child | |
| It's an education project, not a laptop project—Nicholas Negroponte | |
| This is the wiki for the One Laptop per Child association. The mission of this non-profit association is to develop a low-cost laptop—the "$100 Laptop"—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Our goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves.
Why do children in developing nations need laptops? Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration. | |

There are also discussion pages on issues of deployment and country-specific discussions. An extended table of contents is also available. | |
