Magalhães was assembled in a space that belongs to the current JP Sá Couto factory, in Matosinhos, with a production cost of 180 euros. The first is older in the product line of the American manufacturer and the second more recent and more energy efficient. It was made available in two versions with different processors: in the first phase the Intel Celeron at 900 MHz and in the second phase the Intel Atom at 1.6 GHz. The notebook was aimed at children aged between six and ten years. The assembly of this computer in Portugal, under the scope of the e-escolinha program, resulted from a protocol, announced on July 31, 2008, between the Government of the Portuguese Republic and Intel for the creation of a consortium with mostly Portuguese capital formed by the JP Sá Couto, Prológica and Intel. The name comes from the Portuguese navigator Fernão de Magalhães. It was based on the second version of Intel’s Classmate PC notebook. The Magalhães laptop was a low-cost laptop, assembled in Portugal.
