From the size of it, it looks like all the processing power is tucked in behind the ~monitor~ not the keyboard.

Is it touchscreen?]]>Feb 17th 2008 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/Feb 17th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/
Though to be honest, I'm fine with my laptop as it is. I got it yesterday for $499, and it has a 1.8 gHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 processor, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, and a dual layer DVD burner. I love it. ]]>Feb 17th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/

The eeepc doesn't look breath-taking by any means, but it looks pretty standard in form and puts its competition to shame in terms of aesthetics. ]]>Feb 17th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/
Hrm... wait a minute.. there's no point to removing the keyboard from the monitor unless there's also someway to navigate on the monitor with touch! Either that or it's just meant to be used as a fancy picture frame... :D I like it!]]>Feb 17th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/Feb 17th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/Feb 17th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/"Elonex One: England's 100 quid laptop" I think the term you were looking for was "Britain's 100 quid laptop" said laptop is sold in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. These places collectively are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland they share a common government and currency.
A bit like saying Texas' cheapest laptop, when said laptop is for sale across the USA.

As for Aye Guv'na, well, I do hear a lot of 'aye' from Northerners in my current job, but more likely to hear 'that's the kiddy' from Southeasters, than Guv'na]]>Feb 17th 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/
Of course, that would be stupid - so let's stick with the country, and not try to sweep our ignorance under the carpet.]]>Feb 18th 2008 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/
Also this means that the hardware is in the screen? So the keyboard portion is just a keyboard, and unusable on its own.

riiight.

But - this does raise a good idea - could someone feasibly make a Eee tablet? I know you can add a touch screen; but it'd be cool if someone could shove everything into a little tablet form; or at least stick a flip hinge onto the monitor? ]]>Feb 17th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/Feb 18th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/ UK £250

If you look at that image it shows the screen has a mouse and buttons on the back. So basically you control the mouse from behind whilst viewing the screen. Pretty smart but ergonomic like a brick i should think.]]>Feb 17th 2008 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/17/elonex-one-englands-100-quid-laptop/
I think this is the perfect product to reinforce that point.
