Intel has unveiled a new version of its low-cost Classmate laptop, which has a larger screen, stores more data to compete with One Laptop per Child (OLPC).

The new Classmate will have two screens, 7 inches and 9 inches, a 30 gigabyte hard drive and an integrated camera. It is expected that the product will be available in the market in April with the price from 300-500 USD. The device is equipped with Intel's own chip - the company is planning to use its own chips in computers targeted at schools in developing countries.

Classmate laptops are part of the mobile device strategy that Intel calls 'netbooks' - smaller devices, less functional than regular laptops but use less power and are easier to move.

In addition, Intel today released five new Atom chips. These chips are designed for pocket-sized Internet devices. Intel said Classmate will use Atom chips.

Intel's Classmate "life 1" computer

Classmate is based on Intel's design and uses its chips, but they are manufactured by other manufacturers and sold under many different brands. The first generation Classmate with a 7-inch screen and less functionality was sold in March 2007. Intel said it had sold "tens of thousands" of these laptops but declined to give detailed figures.

Meanwhile, the Massachusetts-based OLPC says it has sold hundreds of thousands of XO laptops for $ 188. Intel and OLPC are competing for cheap laptops. XO machines use chips from Advanced Micro Devices, the world's No. 2 chip company.
