XO
Last nights Refresh DC was very cool indeed.
The main event was a presentation on accessibility - "Understanding The Real World Wide Web and Why Web Accessibility Is Crucial" - by Justin Thorp. Good overview, and Justin is a very laid back yet engaging speaker.
He had also promised a surprise, and he delivered!
Justin had managed to get his hands on one of the (currently) extremely rare XO Laptops (aka "The $100 Laptop").
First of all, yes I want one! I'll happily sign up for the rumored program where anyone who buys one also has to buy a second XO for a child in a developing country. It's a win-win. Heck, I'd say make it 1+2! We need to get as many of these machines out to the people that really need them.
First impressions:
- The key board feels nice, a bit like those roll-up ones as Cindy pointed out.
- Impressive screen.
- The XO is smaller than I thought, which is only a good thing
- It's even better looking in real life. It's a gem.
