Elonex One t+ netbook gets the hands-on treatment
Elonex' One t and slightly upgraded t+ netbooks are certainly an improvement over the original Elonex One but, as Plug In Blog's hands-on of the device shows, it still falls somewhat uncomfortably between the OLPC and a regular netbook. That said, for the £99 price tag (or less than $200), the site seems to think that the netbook will get the done job for its target audience: students, and even anyone else that's not looking to do much more than email and some basic web browsing. Anyone needing more than that, however, had best look elsewhere, especially considering that the netbook's underpowered and uncommon Ingenic XBurst processor will likely limit your software options beyond anything that doesn't come pre-installed.
Elonex unveils £129 One T netbook
The first Elonex One was an oddly-configured little beast, with the guts of the machine tucked behind the display for an unwieldy, top-heavy look that was only acceptable given the £100 ($199) pricetag and pseudo-tablet functionality it offered. That doesn't mean Elonex isn't after the rest of the netbook market, though -- it's just introduced the Elonex One T, which has a much more traditional form-factor and comes in a variety of colors, but retains the bargain basement price of £129 ($255). Of course, that means you're getting an unspecified 400MHz processor and a 7-inch, 800 x 480 display that's sure to be fairly mediocre, but for just over a hundred quid, just be happy this thing doesn't look still look like it fell out of 1983.
