However, the computers are expected to be out in October, one month later than originally planned. The prices for the laptops are $176 each, with the price expected to go down to $100 sometime next year, according to a spokesman for the project. There will be 3 million laptops available in October, and they will be distributed to children by the governments of participating countries, which include Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Greece, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Rwanda, Tunisia, the U.S. and Uruguay.
