Caring for your XO

Although your XO is tough, you should try to keep it dry and clean. Avoid dropping it or stepping or sitting on it. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. It can survive an occasional accidental soaking in a rain storm, but do not dip it all the way into water.

The XO laptop has no hard drive and only two internal cables, so it is less likely to fail than other laptops. For added robustness, the XO's plastic walls are thicker than other laptops. Its green mesh network antennas have improved wireless capabilities over the typical laptop. Plus, they double as external covers for the USB ports, which are protected internally as well. Internal bumpers protect the screen display by offering cushioning.
