Laptop Bake-Off
June 28, 2008 – 11:09 amA much friendlier term than my previous “laptop shootout”! The Bake-off was held last weekend at a Friends (Quaker) school near Greenbelt, MD. I brought my two OLPC XOs (there were several others set up there already for folks to try out), and got to try out a Classmate 2Go, several Macs, the Asus EEE 700 and 900 series, and a Fujitsu T-4220 Tablet. The tablet was pretty neat, and I thought the Classmate exterior was pretty cute and came the closest to the XO’s ruggedness (still not there, but more so than the others). We (some adults, more kids) filled out evaluation sheets on the different laptops as we went along. Baked goods were also available for snacks. :-)
