The design of the laptop has changed over time. It started with the green laptop with the crank. Then we had the blue laptop with the hinge on it. The most recent design, which will be used for the build out next month is great. Good textures, feels solid, includes the latest display size and the full hinge.
I was down at Red Hat’s Raleigh office last week and one of the guys there snapped the picture of the model that I had brought with me. It’s up on flickr now as part of the Red Hat Magazine collection.

Well, I love the look, but those green ‘ears’ are begging to be broken off.
The model looks very cool – a good physical mock-up of this summer’s Fuse Project “Green Machine” design: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Image:Green_and_white_machine.jpg
I can’t wait until there is a real working model!
> Well, I love the look, but those green ‘ears’ are begging to be broken off.
Agreed, the ears look cute but also they look like they will be the first thing to break.
We’ll see how it goes with the ears. In the model, they are attached with plastic and are pretty fragile but in the real models they will be built out of metal and should be quite sturdy. We’ll know pretty quickly, though. We’re going to build a few thousand models for testing to begin with and it should become apparent if there’s a problem with the ears.
What colour is the lettering on the keys? I can’t imagine anything contrasting particularly well against such a bright green, which could be a bit of a problem for the vision-impaired.
As someone said it will be easy to broke away these “ear-like” parts even if they will be made of metal. They simply look not to be kids-proof.
Break-proof or not, they increase the range of the wireless by four times. It’s worth it to try to put them on there – one way or another. Like I said, we’ll discover in our testing how fragile they are.
