Have you heard of the Asus EEPC? This is a little 7" sub-notebook computer powered by Linux and available for around £200, if you can find one!
Anyway, Elonex have announced that they are releasing a similar machine for just £100! They will be producing 200,000 units and it will be on sale in June. For £10.00 deposit, they are accepting reservations.
Well, I couldn't resist it so have placed my order.
Now, I already have a decent notebook, but, frankly, can't be bothered carting it around with me everyday. However, I always have a book with me, so adding a PC the size of a book is not big deal. So, with this machine I will be able to surf the net, write letters, emails etc and . . . . read PDF books / manuals!
As you can no doubt infer from my witterings, I am quite looking forward to receiving the machine, though I daresay it will be pretty useless for serious work, but the use I intend to put it to, who cares!
