NEO


The Neo is a very small computer. There are many good things about it and some irritating things. So here they are…

Pros…
It is good for kids to have instead of Microsoft word. They can bring it anywhere and type an essay etc and then the next day hook it up and press print.
It has a calculator for math.
At night teachers could type the in the assignment for the students to do.
It’s not dangerous. Students couldn’t use it in the wrong way.
Easy to carry (not heavy)
Runs on batteries
It has a thing called the beamer, which can send messages from one NEO to another NEO within 3 feet.

It can only hold up to 8 files
Doesn’t have internet

The NEO looks cool. I think it would be a good thing for all schools. I hope we get them here.
