Classmate VS XO-1
May 21st 2007 16:31
This is quite an interesting battle, on the one hand we have Intel with its Intel Celeron M powered Classmate pitted against the XO-1 which is powered by an AMD chip. In terms of raw numbers it seems like Intel's Classmae is the clear winner.

XO-1 Specifications:
CPU: 433 MHz AMD Geode LX-700 at 0.8 watt, with integrated graphics controller
1200×900 7.5" diagonal LCD (200 dpi) that uses 0.1 to 1.0 watts depending on mode. The two modes are:
Reflective (backlight off) monochrome mode for low-power use in sunlight. This mode provides very sharp images for high-quality text.
Backlighted color mode, with an effective resolution that is asymmetrically reduced in complicated ways. See below for details.
256 MiB of Dual (DDR266) 133 MHz DRAM (in 2006 the specification called for only 128 MiB of RAM[25])
1024 KiB (1 MiB) flash ROM with open-source LinuxBIOS and Open Firmware
1024 MB of SLC NAND flash memory (in 2006 the specifications called for only 512 MB of flash memory[26])
Internal SD card slot[27]
Wireless networking using an “Extended Range” 802.11b/g wireless chipset run at a low bitrate (2 Mbit/s) to minimize power consumption.
Marvell 8388 wireless chip, chosen due to its ability to autonomously forward packets in the mesh even if the CPU is powered off. An ARM processor is included.
Dual adjustable antennae for diversity reception.
Water-resistant membrane keyboard using a fairly conventional (QWERTY in the US International localization) layout. The multiplication and division symbols are included.
Dual five-key cursor-control pads; four directional keys plus Enter
Touchpad for mouse control and handwriting input
Built-in color camera, to the right of the display, VGA resolution (640×480)
Built-in stereo speakers
Built-in microphone
Audio based on the AC97 codec, with jacks for external stereo speakers and microphones, Line-out, and Mic-in
3 external USB 2.0 ports.
Power sources:
DC input, ±10–25 V
5-cell rechargeable NiMH battery pack, 22.8 watt-hour (82 kJ) capacity

Though you make a good point, it does look more robust (though also toy ike).
Whats really cool about it though is it has an optional charger, you physically pump it and it charges the battery. That little puppy is self sustaining.

bleh, I'm so retarded, thats the built in camera's resolution.
Thought he screen is using a diagnol matrix which apparently makes the image go a little blury. Meh, you're right though, it does have a better resolution.
