The main aim of the articles is to give the general information on the new concept of laptop manufacturing, and discover the factors, which led to the failure of XO laptop. Version 2.0, which is described in the article by Marks (2008), is the serial variant of the model, while the probationary period of the first variant has previously succeeded. The main consideration, represented in the article is associated with the fact, that the new model of laptops for children is a very successful and highly potential solution of the educational issues, and the maters of computer education for kids. All the aspects, which are closely related with implementing laptops for the school education, have been regarded in the article, and, there is strong necessity to emphasize that the original purpose of manufacturing these laptops is to improve the educational system in countries of south and central Africa, as well as in Latin America. Taking into consideration the fact that computer literacy is one of the most important aspects of the nowadays education. Originally, the implementation of this device into the educational systems of the schools will be able to improve the curriculum in general and simplify the completion of the studying assignments for children, as they will be able to make them using their laptops. The problems, which will be associated with this implementation have been regarded as the challenges, that have been already solved, or will be solved within the nearest time. These problems are closely linked with safety of the data, health issues related to the PC use by children, and the matters of software availability. Originally, it was the perfect idea to provide the free, Linux based, software for the equipment, as free operational systems are more comfortable in comparison with shareware or paid OS. Political issues, which will be associated with the providing of the new educational plan, will touch upon the matters of the curriculum, educational plans, and teaching strategies. As the article states, some teachers refused to retire, after they had tied to teach with the help of the new laptop for children. Thus, the curriculum will have to be changed in accordance with the new realities. Schools will have to provide the proper infrastructure for implementing these laptops, and achieving the new educational practices. In the light of the fact that the implementation of this system in some countries of Latin America caused serious safety problems, as Marks (2008) emphasizes following fact: “In Colombia Negroponte and colleagues needed a 200-troop bodyguard to supply laptops and a satellite dish to a school in a region controlled by the FARC guerrillas”. Marketing positioning of the new XO computer is regarded to be successful enough for increasing the sales all over the world; nevertheless, the company makes emphasis on Africa and Latin America, while it is hard to compete with giants of computer technologies. The unsuccessful launch of the project revealed the fact that there were serious problems, which had not been taken into consideration by the managerial team. Evans (2009) gives clear argumentation why the project is “a piece of crap”. Jon Evans has compared XO laptop with his Acer netbook, which is in the same price segment; nevertheless it is miles better from the XO device. Taking into consideration the fact, that it is hard o compete with the giants of computer techno
