£99 Laptop running Linux – Elonex One

Elonex
Elonex has announced that it will be revealing their Elonex “One” on the 28th of Feb in Birmingham for the Education Show.

Education Show

There is very little information available at the moment but the reports are it comes preinstalled with a version of Linux and will have a detachable rubber keyboard which should be interesting.

It’s going for the Tablet-esque approach but is reported not to have a touchscreen. When more information is available I’ll post it but at the moment there are rumours that it will come in 1GB and 2GB storage models, both having WIFI but the latter being the only of the two with Bluetooth.

The full press release is available on their website: Elonex One

According to their website they are aiming to release 200,000 units in June but these will be for schools and education authorities.

I’ve asked Elonex for a release date and I’ll keep you posted but I think it could be a while yet.
