Computex 2008:Intel 的同班同學健康又強壯喔!



如果沒有可愛的同班同學 Classmate PC,也就沒啟發 Asus 推出 Eee PC(當然 OLPC 也是),今年 Computex 2008 才會出現到處都有小筆電的盛況,也讓本來應該大量用在 MID 身上的 Atom 處理器,全都轉移到輕省筆電身上。

這次我們終於可以好好的一窺這台始祖級產品,並搭載專為四個孩子們設計的 EDUbutu 作業系統,比起大家長 Ubuntu 來說真的可愛許多。不過要告訴大家,這篇文章可不是像 OLPC 那篇一樣緬懷而已,Intel 打算要開賣這款輕省筆電,而且價格絕對輕切可愛。

不僅如此,同班同學最厲害的地方在於超級耐撞,相當適合給活力/破壞力十足的小朋友使用,我們當場也當回了小朋友,一不小心就把 Classmate PC 拍落地面,結果系統仍然正常運作(感謝SSD的強固穩定),擊點全文看真相影片和Classmate PC 更多照片:

[The grandpa of all ultra-portables is still kicking around]

If it wasn't for the Intel Classmate PC, there wouldn't be Eee PC and a whole school of ultra-portables. Also, thanks to the Classmate PC, the Atom processor is now used on most ultra-portable notebooks instead of MIDs.The Classmate PC we saw at Computex is running on EDUbuntu, which looks a lot cuter than the original Ubuntu. Also, unlike the OLPC, which is going in history, Intel is actually planning on retailing the Classmate PC, and the price will definitely be appealing.

The best thing about the Classmate PC is its durability, which is perfectly suited for kids. Speaking of which, we accidentally dropped the Classmate PC onto the ground, and everything is still running smoothly (thanks to the indestructible SSD). Click on read to watch a video.


同班同學有口袋裝 SD 記憶卡,而且口袋夠深不會突出來。


插電以後有電源指示燈,可檢視目前有無充電狀態。



這幾天手上的相機和我就是不對盤,但同班同學似乎怎麼拍怎麼好看。


同班同學還有很可愛的手把,可以隨時帶著走,當然天氣熱時也可以把外套脫掉,下面是電池卡榫。



EDUbutu 的操作畫面,操作起來相當直觀。
