OLPC stands for One Laptop Per Child, a concept proposed by Professor Negroponte of MIT. This computer is designed to meet the needs of primary and secondary school students in developing countries. Its most attractive feature is its price of only $100, which is equivalent to 800 RMB, making it very appealing to students in developing countries, especially in China.

④ Hand-crank power generation (side-mounted crank)

⑤ Colorful shell

4. What is the reputation of OLPC?

Opponents: Microsoft, Intel

Reasons for opposition:

1. Small LCD screen causing inconvenience in viewing

"At least you can read the text without squinting."

2. Hand-crank power generation is embarrassing

"At least you don't have to generate electricity while typing."

3. No hard drive

"At least it should be able to store documents."

Supporters: Negroponte, AMD, Quanta

Counterarguments:

1. The small LCD screen is sufficient to meet most children's needs.

2. Electricity is unaffordable for many low-income families in developing countries.

3. 512MB of flash memory is undoubtedly a suitable choice, and it is more than enough for resource-efficient Linux.
