Ugliest Laptops Ever Made


One Laptop Per Child XO
One Laptop Per Child XO
One Laptop Per Child's XO is a colorful laptop for children in developing nations, and it's a worthwhile invention. It's a durable beast built to withstand the rigors of rough treatment, as well as high heat and humidity. It's bright like most kids' toys. OLPC XO has an ugly design. The price is $100. Education means a chance for a better life. But for the majority of the children in the developing world, access to education remains difficult. Nicholas Negroponte created the One Laptop Per Child and worked to create a low-cost laptop specifically adapted to children and their environment. The design intent was to make the XO immediately recognizable as a child's product, but not like a toy: the XO's look and feel is of a high-quality tool for education. Specific friendly design elements such as the soft edges, rubber keyboard, or turning the burdensome collaborative Wi-Fi antennas into whimsical rabbit ears, add a childlike feel to the laptop.
