Hmm, the case looks quite brittle and fragile (e.g. I don't see rubberised bumpers, etc.). Plus the keyboard has a whole bunch of vulnerable moving parts. The product page doesn't give details of the battery, so I assume it's lithium ion rather than lithium ferrous phosphate (i.e. prone to explode)? Can't see what screen technology they're using, but if it's anything like standard laptops it won't be readable in sunlight and will require a power-hungry backlight. Thankfully modern laptops don't seem to require mercury in their backlights (now that they're LED), so the "non-toxic backlight" feature of the OLPC is no longer necessary.
