A low-cost laptop war of unprecedented scale! Now I don't know about you but I would do the right thing and buy an XO for a Third World kid. It seems the charitable thing to do. I'm sure the OLPC isn't running out of money and need to pay a few bills. I'm also positive that once the children in those third world countries get their laptops they will have an education strategy in place to make good use of the technology. 400 dollars. I get eight times the flash memory of the XO, a faster processor, a choice of color and it should just about fit in my pocket. 150 deposit on the Eee but that just lessens the burden. I'm sure it seems to be interesting timing that both these machines are appearing at around the same time. I'm sure Negroponte and the guys at the Media Lab realized that if they didn't fill orders for the first large scale production run at Quanta Computer then the XO would be dead in the water. What agreements were in place with Quanta, They are a business and have to make a profit, unlike OLPC as a registered charity group.
Perhaps if the OLPC couldn't make governmental orders appear or couldn't get the operating system finished then the technology in the XO would go straight into a design for the general public. Would Quanta be offering their billion dollar customers the XO technology in a new package by Christmas, It's obviously too late for that this year but it makes me wonder. Is the XO laptop the perfect Christmas gift, The season of giving, It seems to be the perfect opportunity to get a learning machine for my nephew. The XO would stand up to his punishment. Or would he just bash away on the rubber keyboard, enjoying the feel of those silicon buttons. Perhaps a simple music program that plays a note when a key is pressed would keep his attention. Of course he'd only get the XO after I was fully satisfied it was safe for him to use. With all the portability in devices now, will people be outside in the sunshine sending email and browsing the Web, Obviously the laptop with the best screen will win out. My current laptop has a terrible screen for outdoor viewing. Owning an XO will mean perfect viewing of websites in the brightest sunshine. The battery life will let me read a book all day in a park. The mesh networking will let me collaborate with other XO users. Well, I'm not big on collaboration. I don't even help my wife with the housework so I guess that's not going anywhere. Of course she would tell me I have enough gadgets. And she's right. I do.
Have you ever been working on your laptop, only for the sun’s glare to make the screen unviewable, You need a screen with a matte finish. 600 laptop. So the Asus X555 DA-AS11 is just perfect. Plus, the large 15.6-inch has Full HD resolution and comes with a 256GB SSD. Complementing that is 8GB of RAM and an AMD A10 quad-core processor, which performs pretty decently for gaming too. The X555 DA-AS11 makes no compromises on connectivity either. It’s one of the few laptops that still features a DVD writer. There’s also an HDMI port, a VGA port, a card reader, and three USB ports. Just make sure you buy the DA-AS11 version, and not the DA-WS11 version. The WS11 has a 1TB HDD, but it skips the matte finish and reduces the resolution to 1366×768 pixels. You will love the Acer Aspire E5-575G. For laptops that double as televisions, the large 15.6-inch screen makes movie-watching pleasurable.
Even the speakers are quite loud. It doesn’t have great viewing angles, though, so it can only be you watching, not a group of friends. The Acer laptop also packs some powerful hardware for speedy performance. This includes a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics card, which is good enough for playing most PC games. There’s also a 256GB SSD; as we know, SSDs improve performance on Windows. But what really sells the Aspire E5-575G is its battery life. You can expect about 10 hours of usage on a single charge, according to LaptopMag’s battery test. Unlike other laptops, though, you can’t charge this one through the USB Type-C port.

If your lucky you can get a T420 for pretty cheap from lenovo i got mines for i know the price is ebil but it was worth it.
5 2.4 ghz HD 3000 intel (crappy video card), lasts a maximum of 15 hours and if u get the battery slice its suppose to last 30 hours. For me on average i do 10 hours or so just typing per charge. There are various laptop brands that offer cheap price but the good quality is compromise. Other brands also are expensive but of good quality. Thus, selecting the best brand and features of laptop really matters. For example ASUS a53sv.. I personally own ASUS n43sl and I love it.. Great laptop for the tight budget gamer.. I don't get it. Are they too expensive, You can find cheaper, at least here. I have an HP Pavilion dv6t, which is visually quite similar to the dv6z. I have been quite impressed with the size and weight, and really like the fact that it includes a full-sized number pad. I find that I can get about 3- 3.5 hours of battery life with a quad-core i7, depending how I set set the screen brightness, though this figure drops significantly when on dedicated graphics.
