The simple, portable, low cost computer companion
 
Overview

Neo is easy to use, lightweight, and affordable — designed to provide a wide range of computing capability on its own, and to integrate effortlessly with desktop and laptop computers. Like our popular AlphaSmart 3000, Neo offers a full-sized keyboard and extraordinary battery life, but adds a 50% larger display and twice as much memory. Neo is the ideal solution for maximizing classroom computer resources.

Neo is offered in two configurations: Neo standard version that comes with alkaline batteries, and Neo rechargeable version that comes with a NiMH battery pack and AC adapter. Both versions can be operated on AA alkaline batteries, and Neo standard version can be upgraded with our rechargeable battery kit.
