...first, what about children here in the US that have no access to computers?
2nd: What use will these laptops provide if there is no power or no internet that these laptops can access?
3rd: I think the money would be better spent on expanding schools in developing nations and providing more books and/or other educational materials. Perhaps the school could be setup to include desktop computers (which are less likely to be stolen than laptops).
Personally I think it's a very stupid program that wants to make people feel good with sending cheap laptops to 'kids in developing nation' but never really addresses the problem of how they can be used.
