One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) strives to make computer access affordable to children in developing countries. Their effort to design an extremely affordable (and durable) laptop yielded the XO Laptop, which goes for $199.
But for governments and regular people looking to buy something even more affordable: consider the $10 laptop, which might be going on sale soon in India. Actually the initial price might be as much as $20, sort of like how the iPhone was discounted after initial release.

$20 each is a nice discount. 60 Minutes did a story on the $10 laptop called 'what if every child had a laptop.'
