Neo Explore X1 was possibly based on OLPC

or ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD that price 100 dollars, but this project was not implemented. Hoping each child had one laptop.

I think neo explore is inspired model of pc classsmate, but it is in commercial market.

If you can get over the “for kids” marketing and looks, this thing might actually be better than the Asus EEE PC in several ways:
- lower price (20k vs 17k)
- more storage (30gb vs 2GB)
- WinXP (it’s Starter Edition, but it’s still Windows)

I would’ve bought one spot on if it supported 1024×768 res and had a faster processor.

@Palang Pakana, I think you’ve misquoted me. I said the Classmate PC is the non-commercial version and the Neo Explore is the commercial version.

My understanding with Intel’s Classmate PC was that it was their own OLPC version to help aide 3rd world countries or emerging markets. Since OLPC was supposed to be a non-commercial and charitable project, I reckon Intel’s Classmate PC was also the same.

In that note, the Neo Explore was produced based on ClassMate PC to serve the commercial market.

If I were to choose between a laptop and a PC which costs the same, I’d choose the lappy.

Why would you consider Intel’s laptop as non-commercial? Intel is a for-profit corporation, and the Neo is not free, so I am not sure why the laptop should be called non-commercial.
