Elonex preps £100 laptop
ELONEX is preparing to launch a £100 Linux-based laptop, aimed it says, at the education sector.
Called the ONE, the ultra-portable laptop offers wireless internet access email, word processing and sheet spreading. Although Elonex won't tell us what form these take, we'll have a guess at Open Office.
The laptop weighs less than a kilogramme and offers a claimed three-hour battery life. It sports a 1Gb Flash-based hard drive and a seven-inch screen. It's not unlike the Asus Eee, we hear.
Elonex will launch the One at the Education Show in Birmingham on 28 February. The outfit won't tell us anything more about what's in the box until then.
It does say the One, "removes the cost barrier that has prevented the one-laptop-per-person, large-scale uptake of computers in the education system that has for so long been just a pipe dream."
The firm also promised to donate one One laptop to underprivileged children for every one hundred sold. µ

Just found this HP Server for only £99 aswell!

This will end up like the mobile phone model, only giving away servers free when bought with an OEM license. !
tha 2gb one with 256mb ram and bluetooth. i've ordered mine, 2 and a half months to go!!!!!!!! i literaly can't wait - i don't want to
1 Gb equates to 128MB, which kind of sucks. I'm guessing you just didn't leave your pinkie on the Shift key long enough, since 1 GB of storage is 8 times better.
...it will have a entry by tomorrow. Ain't Wikipedia just great!
Truly amazing, Elonex doesn't have a Wikipedia entry.
