Easy to use
Just turn NEO on and go. It is as simple to use as a basic calculator. One-touch file access and autosave eliminate startup delays and accidental data loss.

Teacher friendly
NEO integrates seamlessly into the classroom without requiring IT support. Teachers can control student access to programs and selected functions. They are also able to easily transfer an entire class of student assignments to any Macintosh or Windows computer and review it at their convenience.

Focused on learning
NEO includes versatile learning software for developing writing, keyboarding, and quizzing skills. Unlike traditional laptops, NEO purposely does not include Internet capabilities. Students stay on task without Internet distractions — Web surfing, online games, or instant messaging.

Affordable
 NEO costs approximately one-fourth the price of traditional laptops and requires little maintenance. NEO’s low power requirements mean extraordinary battery life — up to 700 hours — and more cost-effective operation.

Ultra-portable and rugged
 It weighs only two pounds and fits easily into a student’s backpack. NEO stands up to everyday wear and tear, even if accidentally dropped.
