Give 1 Get 1: 2 laptop computers for $400!

Would it be legal for school districts to buy 1000 computers while giving 1000 computers? Could the state of Texas buy 1,000,000 and give 1,000,000 laptops?

If you'd like to donate an XO laptop today, simply click the donation button on the right, above the photo. A donation of $200 will pay for and deliver one XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, $400 will pay for and deliver two XO laptops, and so on.

Starting November 12, One Laptop Per Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. If you're interested in Give 1 Get 1, we'll be happy to send you a reminder email. Just sign up in the box to the left and you'll receive your reminder prior to the November 12 launch date.


FAQ

What can a $1,000 laptop computer do that the XO Laptop cannot?

Not much. In fact, the XO laptop can do many things that a $1000 dollar laptop can not. For instance, the XO’s screen can be viewed as clearly as a newspaper in broad daylight. Also the wireless range of the XO is several times longer than your average laptop. Plus the XO laptop does not have any mechanical parts like a fan or a hard drive, which are by far the most common source of hardware failure in a laptop. The XO is more rugged, resistant, and power efficient than any computer on the market today.
