Uh.. if you are not trolling you are badly mis-informed. XO-1 was, "standard PC" x86, in part to get cheaper available components. They didn't switch to ARM until after the price per processor came down enough to make it viable, though it would have been more efficient to start there (cf Intel-Microsoft-Negroponte politics). Parts were and are shipped in to the locations. The laptops were designed to be field repairable to an extent well beyond any commercial laptop (then or now): resources start here http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair and include teardown and repair instructions. XO-1 series are,were much more repairable than any new or 2nd-hand consumer electronics gear you can get. I only hope they manage it with XO-4. Touchscreens are pretty fragile.
