The XO-Infinity laptop was first unveiled by One Laptop Per Child spin-off One Education back in February.
The computer is aimed at being so easy to understand and put together that a child of only four years old could do it. Now, the project has dropped the "XO" and has hit Indiegogo.
A number of new details about the laptop have also been released. It has five modules that are put together to make up the whole computer, and is aimed at a lifespan of around 10 years.
The modules themselves include the core, camera, battery and screen, with all of them sliding into the Infinity Hub.
The Core module has a number of important parts in it, including the processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage and a Wi-Fi chip. The camera model ships with a 2 MP rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing camera, however, the idea is that users will be able to swap them out for higher resolution cameras when they become available.
This is the same idea with the battery modules, which will ship with a 7,000 mAh capacity, but can be replaced with a higher capacity module as time goes on. Last but not least is the screen module, which offers an 8.9-inch 2560 by 1600 pixel display.
The Infinity Hub also offers parts that users probably won't need to upgrade, such as speakers and USB ports.
After all of the modules have been inserted, a colorful cover can be put onto the computer to conceal the internal parts. The laptop runs a customized version of Android Lollipop that's designed to be child-friendly. Not only that, but Ubuntu and Windows 10 versions are in development, as are more powerful modules.
The funding goal for the Infinity laptop is $50,000, however, it has a flexible goal, meaning that if it's not funded, One Education will still get the money. Those interested will need to pledge $249 for the device, with higher and lower pledges being available for other prizes.
