The online retailer will help OLPC promote the Give 1 Get 1 program (G1G1) which starts in late November. This is a program where users can buy 2 XO laptops for $ 400, of which, Buy one will be used and one will be used for charity for children in developing countries.

It is hoped that cooperating with Amazon will help OLPC solve the problems it faces when conducting the G1G1 program alone. The OLPC program was founded by Professor Nicholas Negroponte with the aim of creating cheap laptops for students in developing countries at a price of under 100 USD.

The XO laptop has two colors of green and white, which can exploit the wireless network (mesh - networking) feature to connect to the Internet and download educational software.

Many countries have shown interest in using the XO, but very well-known is a non-profit project for students and high school students to own a cheap laptop.
