Welcome to NEO, the better laptop for school and the perfect writing tool.
With NEO, you can comfortably write, edit, and store text quickly and
conveniently, no matter what your location. NEO’s light weight and long
battery life make it an easy choice to use at school, the library, in meetings, or
out in the field. NEO integrates with your computer and prints directly to
your printer, either wirelessly or with a cable connection.
If you have a NEO 2 model, you can also use it as you would use Responders
with a Renaissance Receiver, allowing you to get real-time input from
students in your class, and you can use its radio frequency capability to print
wirelessly.
NEO 1 and NEO 2 both come with AlphaSmart Manager software, the
companion program that runs on your computer (Windows or Macintosh)
and lets you manage and configure your NEOs.
Why Use NEO?
With NEO you’ve got a solution that is
• Simple. Just turn it on and start typing; turn it off when you’re done.
Everything is saved as you type. With its built-in AlphaWord Plus word
processor, you can write stories, capture brainstorming ideas, take notes or
minutes, and more. Then you can easily transfer the information to any
computer or printer.
• Flexible. You can customize NEO to suit your varying needs. You can
control the screen contrast level on NEO’s large, easy-to-read display. And
you can choose a font size in AlphaWord Plus that lets you work
comfortably no matter where you are or what you’re working on. You can
also set file sizes so that your NEO works the way you do.
• Infrared-compatible. NEO comes with a built-in IrDA port for sending
text or printing to infrared-enabled devices. (NEO 2 also has radio
frequency capability for use with a Renaissance Receiver or for wireless
printing.)
• Rugged and portable. NEO is built to endure. Its design ensures it can
be toted to classrooms, board rooms, seminars, on vacation, or virtually
anywhere without damage. Its light weight and extra long battery life make
it an invaluable tool.
If you’re using a
group of NEOs with
an AlphaHub (the
SmartOption Mobile Lab),
consult the AlphaSmart
Manager 2 User Manual for

about using AlphaSmart
Manager in group settings.
