OLPC (One Laptop per Child) will cost more than suggested $100 price since the program started. The hike in price is due to increase in raw materials costs and currency fluctuation. According to CNN reports, it’s expected to cost $188 per piece. Any further increase in price (even if it’s small) will definitely cause problem to this program as then people will prefer to buy a used laptop (with much better configuration) than OLPC.
