Elonex OneT?
Feb. 25th, 2009 11:34 amMaplins are selling these refurbished for a hundred quid, free delivery, mail order only, 3 months warranty. They look like a pretty basic Linux netbook (no idea what version linux), 128mb RAM plus 2gb SSHD, take SD and USB sticks. What you can't do is use an external hard disk, and I suspect the RAM can't be expanded or the OS changed. It's a pretty basic specification but realistically it's probably enough to keep me in touch, and small, cheap and light enough that I won't feel too paranoid if I carry one around.
Anyone know anything against them?

This suggests that they're going to get very cheap on ebay real soon now. And it's a vastly better machine than the Elonex. (20Gb SSD, 1024x600 pixel 9" display, 1Gb RAM expandable to 2Gb, Intel Atom 270 CPU at 1.6GHz, and a battery format that's available cheap in a variety of sizes on eBay.) Oh, and you can stick WinXP on it, if you're so inclined.
