I have a Neo 2 that I use for writing, as I find laptops/tablets are way too easy to get distracted with. It's light, rugged - as you'd expect for something designed to be used by schoolkids - and lasts a ridiculously long time on 3 AAA batteries. I just did an entire Nanowrimo on it, on a not-fresh set of batteries, and it's still going strong now.
There've been attempts in recent years to create something similar but more modern - with an E Ink display and cloud sync - but they cost a fortune compared to the pittance I paid for my Neo second-hand.
- owenversteeg 9y agoYeah, every time I see one of the modern ones with syncing and mechanical keyboards and whatnot I'm super interested, then I see the price tag and forget about it. I think I'll just go with a Dana or Neo or Neo 2. (Still not sure if there's any reason to go for the Neo 2 over the Neo.)
- 5cribble 9y agoI think the Neo 2 has a bit more storage capacity than the Neo. The main thing for me was that, as it's a more recent model, I figured it might have a longer life, especially considering things like the internal backup battery (which is replaceable, but involves opening everything up).
- techer 9y agoI believe they are the same apart from some extra academic programs and the look.
