"As a threat deterrent, the notebook will come with asset-control software, so if it is out of the classroom for too many days, the notebook disables itself."

>who is threatnig the children and how do the loptops know ?


"That's why the Classmate PC--a sub-$400 notebook that Intel is developing for kindergarteners through high school students"

>is intel implying the level of student achievement is eqaul at all grade levels in public schools ?


"The Classmate will also sport a special version of Windows that prevents kids from accessing Internet sites or adding programs that have been designated by parents or teachers as off-limits."
