NEXT launches the $150 netbook that squeezes into your handbag

The unhealthy financial climate has encompassed one and all and the mellowed down rich lasses look for other alternatives in stead of their hefty laptops. Elonex, a small British computer maker has found that sought after alternative by planning to launch a new generation of cheap laptops from this February. The laptops measuring a sleek 7 inches easily fit into your handbag and sells only for $150. The company’s tie up with NEXT could help glamorize the product and promote it as a fashion accessory. Nick Smith, the Chief executive of Elonex has a valid point to put up, “Wherever you are, you have full access to anything on your home computer, but if you lose it in a train or bar, you have lost only $150 worth of you kit, not all your valuable photos and documents.”

The Elonex Websurfer does have a few draw backs such as a 2GB memory which is almost thirtieth of that of a full blown lappie. Although these things have been here for a while now, I do get a feeling that this one is here to sell, probably because of its strategic tie-up.
