The $100 OLPC laptop was supposed to revolutionize education.
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.
