Intel Corp. decided to abandon the One Laptop Per Child Program that was founded by Nicholas Negroponte in 2005. The former director at the MIT aimed to deliver millions of laptops to children in developing countries. The price tag for these machines was set at $100 but currently the cost is at $188. The machines will run the open source linux and at the moment carry an AMD processor chip (rival to Intel).
