Intel's Classmate PC takes a giant step as a new Portuguese education plan promises to deliver 500,000 systems into the hands of school children.

Just a correction, Portugal did not "buy" the pcs, they are going to be built in Portugal by a Portuguese company.

Very interesting.

Is it cheaper to produce those PCs rather than produce them in third-world countries?

Good question. I have no idea, but I think this is a investment to help develop the industry in Portugal, since this is backed-up by the government.
