OLPC XO-1.75 hands-on

Posted by Charbax – October 30, 2011

I got to play with the new Marvell Armada PXA618 powered One Laptop Per Child XO-1.75 laptop during the ARM Technology Conference. It seems to already be very stable and run very fast, although this is still a beta prototype, with beta software, OLPC, Red Hat, Marvell still have some work to do to optimize the software and complete the hardware so that it can be mass produced and shipped to children around the world starting early next year. Here in this video I walk around with it outdoors for a few minutes and show you some of how it looks like.

    The XO-1.75 has an ambient light sensor — when the software support for that is finished, you won’t have to manually turn off the backlight when you’re outside in direct sun, it will do it automatically.  That will save a lot of power for kids, who don’t remember/know to turn off the backlight when it’s not needed.

    The real benefit of the XO-1.75 is drastically reduced power consumption, which is a *big* deal in most of OLPC’s deployments.  The 1.75 is the first machine that can run on solar power alone — that is, you don’t need to use a solar panel to charge a battery, and then run from the battery.
