I do not necessarily agree or disagree, I lack the pedagogical knowledge to make a judgement.

OLPC have implanted several memes into people's heads the world over, one of them being that an ultra-cheap sub-notebook is possible.

You are of course free to ignore the past and claim that at this point in time Asus' offering is better than OLPC's, but then you also ignore that Asus needed OLPC's invention as a reference point.
