The Latop comes with an AMD 500mhz CPU, flash memory, WiFi, 7" LCD Screen and runs on Linux. A hand crank is used to generate power.
Source: CNN MoneyEach laptop will include a Wi-Fi radio transmitter designed to knit machines into a wireless "mesh" so they can share a Net connection, passing it from one computer to the next. Though there is a power cord, that cool crank can provide roughly ten minutes of juice for each minute of turning.
