Elonex says that the laptop will weigh less than 1Kg, has a battery life of three hours, will come with a flash based drive, a case and will be Wi-Fi enabled.

Based on information obtained from two OEMs - Fonetastic and Aware, we have an idea of the hardware specification of the Elonex One.

It will come with a Aday5F-300MHz x86 processor - Aday is a Taiwanese company which specialises in low power x86 CPU and the Aday5F is the successor of the Aday5E series which was presented as a 150MHz Super486.

It will be interesting to see how Aday, a relatively unknown company, has managed to get a x86 licence.

AMD, Intel's Rival, has a sizeable x86 technology portfolion which it licensed back in 2006 to the China's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and Peking University.

The only other x86 manufacturer in operation is VIA and it is unlikely that VIA would allow others to use its license after having been embroiled in a legal battle with Intel.

Amongst other tech specs are 128MB DDR2 memory, 4MB flash ROM, 1GB NAND Flash storage, a 800x480 7-inch TFT LCD.

Connections include a 10/100mbps Ethernet connection, a USB WiFi 802.11g Dongle, 6 USB 2.0 ports which allow other external devices like an external DVD writer.

The Elonex One has two stereo speakers, a line out, a 3-cell 2.2AH/cell and weighs in at 950g only; it comes with a USB mouse and detachable keyboard.

I went and bought the EEEPC notebook. Great little solid state machine using Linux as well. Comes with a 4Gb hard drive, webcam,speakers etc. Cost of $480 Australian.

I haven't travelled with it yet but I think it will do the job for me. All I want is to be able to do my internet banking, check emails, upload photos etc. and general surfing.
 
to slow to be really usefull, don't like the non removable battery either :rob

I've got an eee also, its done pretty much everything i've asked it to :D

great for watching movies on flights with no tvs.
