This goes to show that a cheaper, better laptop could easily be made for the general public. What a save on power that would be. A Taiwanese computer company called Quanta Computer manufactures basic laptops especially for this programme. They are distributed by a social welfare organization called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC).

To keep the power consumption low, this laptop has all motor driven parts omitted. This includes the fan, optical media and floppy drive.
