]]> Comment on The £99 laptop, the Elonex One by Keiron http://danmartin.co.uk/20/the-99-laptop-the-elonex-one/#comment-14 Keiron Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:29:53 +0000 http://danmartin.co.uk/20/the-99-laptop-the-elonex-one/#comment-14 I looked at these type of devices for some time (whilst debating what would be the easiest and most sensible for me to sneak into my hand luggage on honeymoon!). I ended up deciding that it needed to be more than just a little device, so ended up with a small laptop - 12" Philips X53, had the odd problem but still a fantastic laptop! Something for this now would have to ship with a sim card slot and allsorts of things, currently my phone does the job (Orange SPV m700) when I'm out and about, and I'll probably upgrade that in the summer again (quite liking the look of the HTC Cruise?).

The eeepc can, and the eeepc's RAM can be upgraded (I've just replaced the 512mb DDR2 SODIMM in mine with 2gb). The battle for the cheapest laptop is fine, but they've got to be of use!

The 1GB doesn't really lend itself to installing XP over the Open Source it comes with though. Could be a good one for the kids though and pretty much disposable at that cost!

Although I'm not convinced that's available on servers, but definately on laptops as they're more likely to be damaged by general wear and tear on a day to day basis.
