Similar specs to the Gigabyte convertables, if not internally identical ... I like that they're ruggedized a little over standard convertible netbooks.

You can search this page for Classmate PC vendors.

good luck. that page has no links to websites, let alone links to the classmate being sold.

i did a search some time ago (not on this list but another i found on some intel related site, and of all listed as classmate vendors only a handful talked about classmate on their site, and only two or so offered it for sale.

maybe we can research that list together. i'l start with:

Quoting:Der Classmate PC basiert auf dem „One PC per Child" Konzept, dass Intel in Afrika aufgesetzt hat. (The Classmate PC is based on the "One PC per Child" concept that intel implemented in africa)

HAH!

greetings, eMBee.

I searched for US vendors and got two links. The first site is under construction and the other has no trace of Intel Classmate.

It seems like this item can only be found in "VapourLand".
