Does anyone know anything about this laptop and what it does?

I was thinking of ordering Monday for my grandson who is 6 years old.

Nowhere can I find what it will do or how it works.

Can anyone help me find out if this is worth getting before Monday I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Liz

Thank you so much for your reply on help with the OLPC!

Did anyone ever purchase a laptop from this program? What was your experience? I didn't but I am thinking ahead in case they do it again next fall. Thanks!
