Neo: the one for schools?
https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/neo-one-schools
The Neo looks like a keyboard on steroids. It’s a little over A4 in size with a screen sitting above the keys that can display between two and six lines of text.
On the software side, it runs AlphaWord Plus for word processing and also has a calculator and brain-storming software. The machine is happy handling basic classroom tasks such as writing stories,taking notes and running a journal. Files can be sent to either PCs or Macs through USB or FireWire.
Battery life isn’t a problem - the Neo runs for up to 700 hours on three AAs - making it a sensible choice for field trips.
The Neo boasts more memory and a wider screen than the Dana. Prices start at pound;185. Look out for a review in the next issue (January 7 2005).
