Elonex Preps Up a New One Netbook this time with a “T”
Jul 9th
Do you still remember the Elonex One netbook? According to the manufacturer, the sales of their netbook was so successful that they decided to come up with a 2nd iteration, which shall don the name Elonex One T.
The Elonex One T would have the following features which are almost similar to its predecessor’s features: 7in, 800 x 480 display; 1GB of solid-state storage; SD card slot; 802.11b/g Wi-Fi; VGA output; and three USB 2.0 ports. But whereas the Elonex One netbook was a bit on the heavy side due to its heavy top cover, the Elonex One T will be a lot ligther this time. It will weigh for just around 625g.
In addition the Elonex One T would come with a 2GB storage model. Information about its CPU is not yet announced. But we do know that it will have an SRP of around $253.
