Neo
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 maximising classroom computer resources.

More than just mobile. The large screen and new font technology display up to twice as much text as the AlphaSmart 3000. Students can save hundreds of pages of text with room for SmartApplets,— software programs extending classroom versatility.
