| Intel enters laptops-for-the-needy market |
|---|
Intel says its diminutive low-cost laptop will be evaluated in Brazil next year alongside a cheaper alternative from a non-profit group seeking to bring computers to poor children worldwide.
The company said it would donate 700 to 800 of the $US400 "Classmate PCs" to the government for a large evaluation in schools. Intel has already tested the computers on a smaller scale with students and teachers in a poor neighborhood of Campinas, near Sao Paulo.
