XO-1.5 specifications

The XO-1.5 entered mass production in 2009. Key differences from the XO-1 include 1GB of RAM, 4GB of Flash storage (upgradable to 32GB), and an improved touchpad. It has a more responsive keyboard, and two keyboard options (which can be swapped out with just two screws!) – a more robust membrane keyboard and a traditional keyboard. It charges faster and suspends more efficiently, extending the effective battery life.

The XO-1.5 Lite is a variation with 512MB of RAM and 2GB of Flash storage.
