<p>Although the XO has continued to look pretty much the same on the outside, the electronics inside have been changing. For details of the differences, refer to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification</a> for the XO 1.0</li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification_1.5">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification_1.5</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-1.75">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-1.75</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-4">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-4</a></li>
</ul>
<p>To some extent, the changes were made to keep using high volume parts, and improve performance. The change from 1.5 to 1.75 involved a change of the processor from x86 to arm, and a reduction in power consumption of about 50%. With power management improvements, this permits the XO to last more than 3.5 hours.</p>
<p>XO-4 is available in two models, XO-4 and XO-4 Touch. XO-4 provides multi touch input on the display.</p>
<p>As you can see from the &#8220;boot time&#8221; comparison, lower power has not been at the expense of decreased performance.</p>
