Intel may have been lacking behind One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) for some time now, but this deal with the Portuguese government means that half a million Classmates will be sent to schools around the country. This puts Intel’s laptop just 100,000 sales behind OLPC. The Portuguese government say that ”by equipping our schools with state-of-the-art computing technology and Internet connectivity, we hope to hasten the transition to economic models that benefit our citizens.”
