AlphaSmart Neo

REVIEW DATE:12.15.04

AlphaSmart Neo

REVIEW

By Sascha Segan

Nostalgia for '80s technology breaks into a new market with the AlphaSmart Neo, a weird mini-laptop, targeted at schools, that is strongly reminiscent of the 1983-vintage Tandy Model 100.

Company

AlphaSmart Inc

Spec Data
  • Price as Tested: $249.00 Direct
  • Bluetooth: No

Bottom Line

The AlphaSmart Neo is more a typing pad than an actual computer, which may appeal to schools with extremely limited needs. But everyone else (including most schools) would be better off with AlphaSmart's more flexible Dana device.

Pros

Excellent keyboard. Incredible battery life.

Cons

All it does is type.
