Low-Cost Linux Laptop - Elonex One Laptop


The Elonex One laptop will be soon making its first appearance in classrooms across the pond. The British outfit is set to release the One laptop on February 28. The Linux-based system will reportedly feature 1GB of Flash memory, Wi-Fi, a tough exterior, internal speakers for MP3 enjoyment and a socket for headphones, USB slots and a three-hour battery life. The super-portable One laptop boasts a seven-inch display and weighs in at under 2.2 pounds. But the size isn't the only small thing about the One laptop, so is the pricetag. The one laptop will come at a low cost of just £99 (approximately $195). There will also be an upgraded version of One available with 2GB of Flash storage and Bluetooth planned too, for £120 (approximately $235). For every 100 One laptops sold, a unit will be donated to an underprivileged child. Elonex via Gizmodo
