Probably something like... 10 times less power.<br><br>- OLPC XO has a better larger screen than Intel Classmate.<br><br>- OLPC XO is half the price of an Intel Classmate.<br><br>- OLPC XO comes with faster bootup, faster Linux OS, more optimized open-source OS and applications unlike Intel Classmate that forces Windows XP on poor school kids.<br><br>- OLPC XO has developped a power-saving way of shutting down the AMD Geode processor and storing screen informations in a buffer most of the time, when the CPU is not required, a thing Intel Classmate does not have with its Intel Celeron CPU.<br><br>- OLPC XO comes with revolutionnary Wi-Fi Mesh chip that has its own processor, consuming less than 0.5 watts, maybe even as low as 0.2 watts to be running 24 hours a day for 5-6 days before recharge, constantly being able to forward packets for other OLPC XO or other Wi-Fi Mesh appliances. Something Intel Classmate provides non of, consuming lots of power having to run the main Celeron CPU, to use any Wi-Fi application, making the Classmate useless to use it as a always-on VOIP device, waking up on incomming VOIP/IM/Email/RSS or other incomming packets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Charbax]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 2nd 2007 7:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brazil's first Intel Classmate PC given to o presidente]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/brazils-first-intel-classmate-pc-given-to-o-presidente/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/brazils-first-intel-classmate-pc-given-to-o-presidente/</guid><description><![CDATA[(off-topic)<br><br>oh c’mon, I am braziliam and I think that the Chocolate Starfish comment was really funny (I am still laughing).
