The people who make the "One Laptop Per Child" XO Laptop are, for the first time, offering it to paying individuals. Of course, you'll have to buy the laptop for a needy child as well as yourself, but you'll get it nonetheless.
We've covered the green-cred of the XO previously, as it's built to last, with few hazardous substances and extremely low power consumption. But it comes at a cost: $400 for a laptop that is likely not going to quite as spiffy as others on the market. But if you're in an ultra-green, ultra-giving mood this holiday season, maybe you should put it on your list.

Having said that - I want one!
