- 5555624 10y agoYou can pick up an AlphaSmart Neo 2 for $30 on eBay. There's no E-ink screen, but it's keyboard is full-size.
- jlebrech 10y agoyes, that an alternative i've been looking at too.
- 72deluxe 10y agoI was amazed this thing even existed - clicking on the link and I am presented with a 1960s style Telex machine with what appears to be a bakelite casing and 1981 keyboard. All for just £499. Perhaps it is just me, but couldn't you use a normal laptop (even a cheap one!) and turn Wifi off if you don't want distractions? Am I missing the market?
- jlebrech 10y agoyes maybe a laptop with a distraction free desktop would be cheaper and just as good. the mechanical keys make a big difference tho.
- 72deluxe 10y agoDo the keys make a difference to the output that you produce? Or is it just that some people like the feel of full key travel as opposed to laptop keys? I have got used to using laptop keys after using them for so long that my main keyboard at work is a laptop-sized one, even for a desktop machine (much to the chagrin of my colleagues). Stops them using it though!
