In the early 2000s, the concept of “One Laptop Per Child” (OLPC) captured the imagination of the world. The ambitious project aimed to provide every child in the world with a low-cost, rugged, and connected laptop, revolutionizing education and bridging the digital divide. It didn’t happen.
I actually had one for a while (I got it second hand)
Also Pine64 did something similar with the Pinebook. It was a much better device as it didn’t try to be the perfect device. It was simply a cheap single board computer put into a plastic shell with a battery and screen.
Oh, I’ll look that one up, because I’m not familiar with it. Thanks!
There current stuff isn’t all that great but the pinebook was amazing 8 years ago or so. It is underpowered but at the time it was fine for a few tabs in Firefox
Yep, I went down the rabbit hole all day yesterday. Decided that we have better, cheaper alternatives by just buying and hacking an older laptop.
