OLPC unboxing and my first thoughts

Date December 19, 2007

So I got my daughter’s XO laptop yesterday and played with it a bit. I was determined to make it hers so I put it back in the box and let it get wrapped for Christmas day. I’ll have more to say at that point, but until then, here are my first blush thoughts..

I began by noticing the XO logo on the box and couldn’t help but be a little excited about it. I knew what it was from the second I pulled in the driveway and saw it sitting on the porch.

I opened the box to find a very minimalist packaging design.

I kept going, unwrapping and snapping photos.

I had read about how to open it so no problems there.
