Intel has signed the largest ever deal for its child-proof laptop, the Classmate.
500,000 of the specially designed educational machines are being given to six to 10 year olds in Portugal.
Originally intended for the developing world, Intel has shifted its focus in recent months to more mature markets.
It stressed its commitment to supplying the Classmate PC to the developing world and said it had projects underway to use it in 50 countries.
The deal will change the way education works in Portugal, according to Paulo Campos, the Portuguese government's secretary of state assistant for public works.
"It will change the educational system, change the way that students look upon school and how we communicate with parents," he said.
