Netbooks originated from a very good project: OLPC (one laptop per child) for developing countries, poor countries. But the school attendance rate is only 50% in poor countries, and the problem of "bread or computer" or "food aid or technology", and children using computers for the wrong purposes have hindered OLPC's development step. Currently, the project is offering new programs to push the project forward as an American citizen bought two project computers for $ 399, one for use, the other will be sent to for a child in a developing country. Not participating in the OLPC project, but inspired by that Asus quickly launched EeePC and was excited by users. Intel giants pulled out of the OLPC project, focusing on the Classmate PC series, which focuses on manufacturing and selling netbook chips. Big notebook makers also reveled in netbook products. Without slowing down, the two Vietnamese manufacturers participating in this market are CMS and Khai Tri. CMS products called ICBook will be released in July, according to Intel's promise, this ICBook is particularly attractive in style. Wiscom of Khai Tri will be the 2nd generation of the Classmate PC with 9-inch LCD screen, 6-cell battery, 512 MB memory, 30 GB hard drive and an integrated webcam. Support operating system Microsoft Windows XP and Hacao Linux, prices from over 5 million to over 6 million.
