The Classmate PC formerly known as Eduwise is Intel’s entry into the market for low-cost personal computers for children in the developing world. It is in some respects similar to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) trade association’s Children’s Machine (XO) which has a similar target market. Although made for profit the production of the Classmate PC is considered an Information and Communication Technologies for Development project. The device falls into the then popular category of netbooks.
