Starting Monday, Nov. 12, Americans and Canadians will have the chance to add charity and innovation to holiday shopping lists. The One Laptop Per Child organization is offering the chance to purchase two XO laptops—one to be given to a child in the developing world, the other to keep or donate locally. It's called "Give 1 Get 1" and the $399 offer is good for two weeks. The XO laptops are durable laptops designed for education and connecting kids in developing nations who have never worked with computers. The One Laptop Per Child Organization has had verbal agreements from many developing country governments to purchase the laptops in bulk, but concrete, signed orders have not been as forthcoming as project founder and chairman Nicholas Negroponte had hoped. So the group has opened up the sale of the laptops from Nov. 12 to Nov. 26 to Americans and Canadians in an effort to spark worldwide sales. They will be delivered by Christmas. SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR EXTRA LAPTOP?

    If I was already getting a laptop, why would I need another? I'd give it to someone who doesn't have one. Plus I already have a laptop, and two would be enough.

    I would use it to run a media center/production setup on, for my own music, and entertainment system.
    Laptops are a great intigration to almost any tech station.

    I'm a pretty giving person. I could be down to my last quarter and still give that away. It makes me feel good to know i've helped someone, somehow.

    Here's my plan: I need a laptop to write my novel, so I can get the utmost privacy while I am doing so. I would keep the extra laptop, use it to write my novel, and when I got published (as I am planning anyways) I would donate money to various charities. I hate being a poor kid, so if and when I have money to spare, I will share it with the most deserving.

    lol, I do that. I'll play on a multiplayer map of like 8 players and make 4 or 5 of the NPCs my allies, while making it so that the remaining NPCs can't build certain things, or they have less available resources.

    Are we talking of giving these laptops to the under previledge in America? Or the world? If it is America I am all for it....The world no....America gives to everyone in the world everything, but when it comes to their own people they do nothing....We send 50 billion here and there and every where but America...People in America also need help....Maybe we would be better off sending them rice instead of a laptop.....

    I donate ALL my old computer systems and I tend to replace my WHOLE complete computer system every second or third year after getting it. I donate everything... computer/laptop, printer and scanner all at the same time considering I buy them as a system.

    Of course I would donate it to charity. To me, computer literacy is extremely important so everyone in developing nations should have access to one.
