 Intel first developed the Classmate Convertible in an attempt to compete with One Laptop Per Child's XO-1, an AMD-based notebook created for deployment in developing countries. Peewee PC today announced the launch of a self-titled notebook based on the Classmate, which makes the notebook available for commercial purchase.
At $599, it's not cheap, so those who envision the Peewee as little more than a high-end toy should think twice about picking one up. That said, the computer, which is currently available for purchase from the company's site, has some cool features, including a rugged case (for tiny, clumsy fingers), a touchscreen, convertible functionality, and customized Windows XP themes from companies such as Disney.
The notebook is based on Intel Atom and ships with 10 software titles and an a branded security suite.
