Had you done some research and reading regarding the OLPC you'd understand why it is not the same as you are suggesting.
Here are some of the main benefits:
Durability
Maintenance with low cost parts
Low power requirements
Small size
Low weight
There have been some new techologies (and uses of existing ones) to make this OLPC what it is.
I highly recommend you reading about it. You'll be surprised.
