Production of these low cost PCs will start in September, current production capacity is only 40.000 per month with planned unspecified increase in capacity. The PC will be branded as "Magalhães" (Magellan) - it won´t have the Classmate brand. Production cost is 180 euros per machine! 500.000 will be sold in Portugal to schoolchildren between 6 and 11 yrs old for free, for 20 euros or for 50 euros depending on family income. The government is paying up the difference and expects to recoup part of the costs with machines that are bundled with broadband contracts. There are plans to export the Magalhaes to Europe, S. America and Africa.
