As a consumer play, however, this design falls woefully short. You would think that Intel would take a little time and effort to redesign the skin. But oh wait, someone else did! The Asus Eee PC is *identical* to the Classmate PC under the hood, and is in fact, the same hardware design. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bearlan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2008 12:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's Classmate PC headed for US, European consumers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</guid><description><![CDATA[My soon to be 6 year old has outgrown those stupid $40.00 Hot Wheels, toy laptops.  I'd love to be able to buy him one of these and install all kinds of educational software in it.  I think it would be the perfect educational lappy for < 10yo kiddies as the alternatives are way more expensive and too big.  Another candidate would surely be the Negroponte one but I think those are hard to find and may offer less than this.  I'm only concerned this Intel lappy may not be kid-proof.  I was thinking of buying an eee PC for this purpose since it's fairly inexpensive but I'm afraid I'd end up taking over it and hacking it to death or my kid would just end up breaking it somehow.  I don't think this Intel one would atract me as much though.  I'll have to wait and see I guess.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[apeguero]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2008 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's Classmate PC headed for US, European consumers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow, looks like intel hired everyone who DIDNT get into the apple design team]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AutoTom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2008 11:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's Classmate PC headed for US, European consumers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</guid><description><![CDATA[I lol'ed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eddie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2008 5:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's Classmate PC headed for US, European consumers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like it fell out of the 90's]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EricR]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2008 11:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Intel's Classmate PC headed for US, European consumers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/intels-classmate-pc-headed-for-us-european-consumers/</guid><description><![CDATA[I couldn't be happier about this race to the bottom.
