It’s a dream come true for potentially millions of kids. Their very own laptop — even when they don’t have consistent access to electricity.
Yes, you heard right. The 1 Laptop Per Child campaign has been realized and now you can grab one for yourself (your child) and in that act of selfishness, you’ll actually make a difference.

The details of this launch promotion are good for 2 weeks only, and the deadline ain’t the only thing that should motivate you to buy one today.


Starting November 12, you can buy one for yourself at $399 and one more will be given to a child in need across the globe. That’s $200 for each fully functional revolutionary laptop for kids.
Think of it as a Buy One Get One sale for Charity.

The laptop’s actual tech specs are impressive and the approach is inspirational if you care to read the details.

UPDATE: Added Bonus – each $200 laptop will come with 1 full year subscription to T-Mobile hotspot wifi access completely free! That’s about $350 value right there:

Get one year of complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot access.

T-Mobile USA is proud to offer you one-year complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot in recognition of your support for the Give One Get One program. As you help children in developing countries stay connected, educated, and enlightened – T-Mobile wants to support you by keeping you connected to those who matter most to you.

T-Mobile HotSpot broadband Internet service is available at more than 8,500 locations throughout the United States. Your complimentary year of service is valued at more than $350! Just use any Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as your laptop computer or a Wi-Fi-enabled mobile phone, and you can connect and communicate your way.

T-Mobile HotSpot locations in the United States include most Starbucks, Borders Books and Music, FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Centers, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Red Roof Inn locations, many airports, and various airline clubs of American®, United®, Delta, and US Airways®.

Currently, T-mobile HotSpot access is $29.99/month with 1 year contract committment.  You can access your subscription account at any T-Mobile HotSpot with any wifi enabled device – just use your username and password.  THUS you can use this free subscription with ANY OTHER LAPTOP OR WIFI DEVICE that you own — it is NOT tied to this XO Laptop!  I just called T-Mobile customer service to confirm — and suggest you do too to feel comfortable.

So normally, $30 x 12 months = $360.  OLPC’s XO Laptops are $399 total – $360 for WiFi access = $39.00 for each of 2 laptops!  That’s an amazing deal!
