OLPC XO One Laptop Per Child Laptop, Slightly Used, Tested Works With Charger

Description: The OLPC XO-2 (One Laptop Per Child) ultraportable celebrates its ability to communicate with people around the corner or around the world. It's a simple, practical wireless laptop packed with cool new technologies and stuffed with open-source softwareThe laptop is not a cost-reduced version of today's laptop; we have fundamentally reconsidered personal computer architecture—hardware, software, and display. Unlike any laptop ever built, the laptop:Creates its own ad-hoc network out of the box. Each machine is a full-time wireless router. Children—as well as their teachers and families—in the remotest regions of the globe will be connected both to one another and to the Internet.Features a 7.1-inch, 1200×900-pixel, TFT screen and self-refreshing display with higher resolution (200 DPI) than 95% of the laptops on the market today. Two display modes are available: a transmissive, full-color mode; and a reflective, high-resolution mode that is sunlight readable. Both of these modes consume very little power: the transmissive mode consumes one watt—about one seventh of the average LCD power consumption in a laptop; and the reflective mode consumes a miserly 0.2 watts.Can selectively suspend operation of its CPU, which makes possible further remarkable power savings. The laptop nominally consumes less than two watts—less than one tenth of what a standard laptop consumes—so little that laptop can be recharged by human power. This is a critical advance for the half-billion children who have no access to electricity.Free softwareTo enhance performance and reliability while containing costs, The laptop is not burdened by the bloat of excess code, the “feature-itis” that is responsible for much of the clumsiness, unreliability, and expense of many modern laptops. We intend for laptop to start up in an instant—faster than any commercial laptop now available—and move briskly through its operations.The laptop is an open-source machine: free software gives children the opportunity to fully own the machine in every sense. While we don't expect every child to become a programmer, we don't want any ceiling imposed on those children who choose to modify their machines. We are using open document formats for much the same reason: transparency is empowering. The children—and their teachers—will have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, hardware, and content.The generation-one machine’s core electronics begin with the 433Mhz AMD Geode processor. There are 256MB of dynamic RAM and 1GB of SLC NAND flash memory on board. The basic integrated operating system is a “skinny” Fedora distribution of Linux. The user interface is specially designed to support collaborative learning and teaching: every activity comes with a support network of teachers and children, so learning need not be an isolated, lonely endeavor.FeaturesEach machine features a video/still camera, two external USB-2.0 ports, plus an SD slot.The laptop is VOIP-enabled, creating another link among users (both locally and globally). It features CSound, an incredibly powerful and versatile music synthesis software that takes advantage of a full-featured audio codec (and the local network for collaborative musical performances). There are internal stereo speakers, as well as a stereo line-out jack. The microphone is built in, with a mic-in jack, which offers another unique feature: “sensor input” mode. The children can plug in a number of sensors, enabling them, for example, to turn their machines into thermometers or oscilloscopes.*Water-resistant membrane keyboard, customized to the locale in which it will be distributed.[45] The multiplication and division symbols are included. The keyboard is designed for the small hands of children.*Five-key cursor-control pad; four directional keys plus Enter*Four "Game Buttons" (functionally PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End) modeled after the PlayStation Controller layout (Triangle, Circle, Cross, and Square).*Touchpad for mouse control and handwriting input*Built-in color camera, to the right of the display, VGA resolution (640×480)*Built-in stereo speakers*Built-in microphone*Audio based on the AC'97 codec, with jacks for external stereo speakers and microphones, Line-out, and Mic-in*Three external USB 2.0 ports.The XO-2 is designed to be low-cost, small, durable, and efficient. It is shipped with a slimmed-down version of Fedora Linux and a custom GUI named Sugar that is intended to help young children collaborate. The XO-2 includes a video camera, a microphone, long-range Wi-Fi, and a hybrid stylus and touchpad. Along with a standard plug-in power supply, human and solar power sources are available, allowing operation far from a commercial power grid. Mary Lou Jepsen has listed the design goals of the device as follows:[30]*Minimal power use, with a design target of 2–3 Watts (W) total*Minimal production cost, with a target of $100 per laptop for production runs of millions of unitsA "cool" look, implying innovative styling in its physical appearance*E-book functionOpen source and free software provided with the laptopIn keeping with its goals of robustness and low power use, the design of the laptop intentionally omits all motor-driven moving parts; it has no hard disk drive, optical (compact disc (CD) or Digital Versatile Disc DVD) media, floppy disk drive, or fan (the device is passively cooled). No Serial ATA interface is needed due to the lack of hard drive. Storage is via an internal SD card slot.[31] There is also no PC card slot, although Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports are included.The OLPC XO (formerly known as $100 Laptop,[2] Children's Machine,[3] 2B1[4]) is a low cost laptop 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 XO was developed by Nicholas Negroponte, a co-founder of MIT's Media Lab, and designed by Yves Behar's Fuseproject company.[7] The laptop is manufactured by Quanta Computer and developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
