The children's machine is a proposed low cost laptop designed by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) trade association for educating children in developing nations. Previously called the $100 laptop, the 2B1 will initially be priced at $135-140. Its enclosure will be both dirt and moisture resistant and it will consume roughly 2 watts of power as compared to 25-45 watts used by conventional laptops. In the e-book mode, its power consumption will be around 0.3-0.8 watts. A hand or foot crank generator built in to a separate power unit is optional. The Linux based machine will have a colour display that can be switched to monochrome to enable reading in bright sunlight. They will also be Wi-Fi enabled.
