There were plenty of people who didn’t think Elonex could bring their original One notebook to market at its £99 ($196) price, but the machine was a surprising success. Now the company is looking to build on that with the One T, which lacks the removable keyboard of its predecessor in favor of a less top-heavy, more traditional design. An unspecified 400MHz processor gives a minimal amount of grunt, but you can’t complain too much when the tag reads just £129 ($255).
There’s also a 7-inch 800 x 480 display, 1GB of solid-state storage and an SD card slot. Connectivity includes WiFi/g, a VGA output and three USB 2.0 ports. There’ll also be a One T+ version which doubles the storage to 2GB.
Dimensions are 210 x 140 x 30mm while weight is 625g. The battery is rated for three hours. No release date as of yet, nor word of whether it’ll make it outside of the UK.
I ordered the original elonex one laptop back in march 08 and i was beginning to wonder whether i would ever get it, until a few days when i received an e-mail asking me for full payment so it can be despatched, i was also offered a free upgrade to this new model , which i have taken up.
will let you know more when it has arrived and i have tested it , have been quoted up to 28 days for delivery.
i really like the sound of this product. does anyone have any idea how to get one if you dont have a credit card/ don’t trust the internet enough to give your personal deatils?
anybody got an address/phone number/adress/email/fax, anything of elonex so i could perhaps get in contact with the company and seek alternative methods of purchasing a one laptop?
or, alternativly does annbody know if they are going to be sold in the uk in a shop? if so, where?
Not sure about in-store sales, B, but you might try asking Elonex’s sales department. Their email is sales@elonex.com
They list their address here: http://www.elonex.com/contacts.shtm
