The perfect first draft machine
Made originally for students (so it's practically bulletproof) this is for the writer who wants no distractions - no email, internet, or anything but four to six lines of text. It's simple to move text back and forth to any document (word, email, etc) by plugging it into your laptop with a USB cable. Other obvious points are that since it only has a small LCD screen the AA batteries it runs on literally can last up to a year. It hold (I understand) up to 100,000 words, enough for novel - although more likely than not you will be uploading your work at the end of the day. It also turns on instantly, so it's as fast to jot down an idea as opening a notebook and taking out a pen. The keyboard is nice and spaced, like an old PC keyboard, so you can write on it for hours. It's light and never heats up. The only negatives I can see with this is that the screen doesn't light up, but who cares? One more thing that won't break. I know there are best selling authors who have used this to draft their work, and it's so small you can throw it in a backpack and take it anywhere. A few years back it was over two hundred dollars. Now we got this one for about nineteen, (34.00 w/tax). I think once the chromebook came around these became dinosaurs in schools and so there's a warehouse in Texas that has them. If you're looking for a way to get that draft from your head to the screen, this is a great tool. It has cut and paste and a basic spellcheck. The only thing you'll have to poke around for is if (like me) you want to send files TO the Neo and not just from the Neo back to your computer. There is software available and it's easy to do, but you have to google "Neo Manager" and it will take about fifteen minutes to set everything up. But then it's simple to send files back and forth. I love it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

good value
This word processor is awesome. It is very light, under 2 pounds, and will promote more productive writing because it eliminates internet distractions. I bought it as a gift for my brother who is a writer. Research gave me a good idea of what this model could do. I believe it was a very good value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good quality, showing signs of age, but otherwise totally fine
Arrived on time and in good condition. Send key could only be activated when pressed really hard, but otherwise it works just fine. Screen came without scratches, and the keyboard feels nice.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
