The children's laptop from One Laplet Per Child is a potent learning tool created expressly for the world’s poorest children living in some of its most remote environments.
The laptop was designed collaboratively by experts from both academia and industry, bringing to bear extraordinary talent and many decades of collective field experience in every aspect of this non-profit humanitarian project.
The result is a flexible, ultra low-cost, power-efficient, responsive, and durable machine with which nations of the emerging world can leapfrog decades of development — immediately transforming the content and quality of their children’s learning. Leaving a big impact on children’s way of learning, the XO laptops have undoubtedly changed the lives of innumerable young minds with a desire to learn.
Prof. Negroponte started his movement as One Laptop per Child less than a decade ago. In the beginning, a laptop for every child had the shock value and made people stop and think. But what he created is both a laptop and a tablet. Several policy planners realized that calling it a laptop did not do justice to it and deflected them from the central question of education.
To the extent that Prof. Negroponte had to announce that “OLPC is not a laptop project. It’s an education project.”
Laplet is a laptop that is both a laptop and a tablet. It meets the computing needs of a child's education 360 degrees. Unlike a laptop, it’s not just good for offices. Unlike a tablet, it’s more general purpose and versatile. Laplet is not a market-driven branded name and may help policy planners think of education while thinking Laplets.
