We bought an XO laptop through the give one get one program.
Initial impressions were that the hardware is very nifty for kid-sized people at least, but the software was not quite done yet. The trackpad was too sensitive and the cursor would sometimes get a mind of its own. Flash apps were borderline unusable with Gnu Gnash instead of "real" Adobe Flash, and the laptop cannot usefully sleep, so runs down its battery continuously until you shut down.
I'm happy to report that things are looking up however, I installed
build 656 yesterday and I find that the keypad is at least usable now.
