OLPC’s $350 Laptop
One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is aiming to have American XO retail sales by this Christmas — the foundation is planning on selling the $100 laptop for $350 or more. The real figure is not known because it wants consumer sales to subsidize shipping these laptops to developing countries.
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation’s rugged XO laptop could initially sell for just $350, or twice its production cost, although the group is also considering a $525 price tag, said OLPC chief technology officer Mary Lou Jepsen.
They seem to be hoping that this will be this season’s must-have holiday toy.

Not a toy, and I’d pay $350 for one.
