Third Generation Classmate Netbook Coming


Since last year or something Intel is really working hard in creating special niche for itself in cheap netbook segment. The first generation Classmates as well as second generation Classmates did good job in creating many budget monikers of original Intel Classmate prototype. In fact, the recently released new version of second-gen Classmate is kinda "mini-laptop" with nice configuration that can easily compete with the likes of Eee PC and MSI Wind. And with the rumor that the third generation Classmates will sport new hardware and software as well as powerful Intel Atom processors, it can certainly give tough competition to all budget mini-laptops. But in all this don't you think price of Classmates is going skywards, taking it away from its original intention of providing good quality cheap machine to students in developing countries. As it is, children from developing world can't afford to spend $400 or something on an educational laptop. So hope price of 3G Classmate stays grounded so that more children can afford it. The third generation Classmate will be announced in a month or so.
