Bucket Posted July 25, 2006 Well, I was all hyped about finding out how to get a $100 laptop until they pulled the crank battery. Now the awesome is back in a whole new way. I wonder if they'll make revving noises. 0 Share this post Link to post

SyntherAugustus Posted July 25, 2006 Wiki Says A hand-crank generator was part of the original design, but Negroponte stated at a 2006 LinuxWorld talk that it was no longer part of the laptop, but a hand or foot operated generator might be included in a separate power unit.
