Now, might be via some MOU (Memorandum of Understanding)and forgeeting all their tussles, the world leader in technology, Intel has joined hands with the OPLPC to facilitate world’s children with affordable laptops. Now, according to Nicholas Negroponte: Collaboration with Intel means that the maximum number of laptops will reach children Nevertheless, it does not mean that by taking seat among OLPC Board of Directors, Intel will stop the development of their Classmate PC program and by this OLPC will not make detailed assessments of its hardware choices; the quality parameters and aims and objective of both the units will still remain same. Walter Bender, president of software and content at OLPC asserted: We are going to be continuously evolving and improving the XO, with the goal of driving down the price, lowering the power consumption, improving performance, and improving robustness. There are many platforms and architectures we will consider going forward and likely we will be offering a family of solutions to fit multiple needs.
