Laptop computers ordered for Mongolian students

Wednesday, 31 October 2007

Mongolian education officials have ordered up to 10,000 laptop computers for $200 each.

The computers are being manufactured by the One Laptop Per Child Foundation. The original intent was to sell the computers for $100 each. However, production costs have prevented the foundation from reaching its hoped-for price.

According to the foundation, the $200 price tag for a fully functional computer can only be purchased in lots of 10,000.

Foundation officials are hopeful that as orders come in for the computers, the price will drop to $100 each. The computers are being manufactured in China.

Besides Mongolia, orders have also been received from Uruguay and Peru.
