The Elonex One is one computer you would welcome for your kids not just because of its features but because of its price—a great buy at £99. This British-made laptop is not a scam and is a fully functional laptop. At least 200,000 units are expected to be made by British Company Elonex by summer.

The Elonex One is a laptop that is targeted towards teenagers, schoolchildren and all those who wish they had a computer but just could not afford the high cost of even the most basic one. This laptop is appropriately called “The One” because it could be the one to finally bring computer use to the grassroots level.

What makes the Elonex One apart from the other traditional computers aside from the price of course is the flexibility of this laptop. You can use this as a traditional laptop or you can detach the keyboard and use the screen as a portable tablet. However, it does not come with the touch screen feature which would have made this a real Tablet. The company had to forego that plan to keep up with the budget price.

The Elonex One is powered by Aday5F-300MHz x86 and can be used to browse the web thanks to the WiFi technology. It has 1GB built-in memory and if that’s not enough then there’s always an option to use a touch digital wristband with up to 8GB of space. In case you’re wondering how the manufacturer was able to come up with a laptop this cheap then wonder no more because their secret is no secret at all—just make use of open-source software primarily Linux.
