Great for writing without distraction of Internet

Bygreetingson July 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Completely great and the screen is way better than I thought it would be. I take it to the library or to other good places to write, and it keeps me from getting seduced into using the Internet and wasting time. You know that, oh I have to look that up, and then 10 clicks later you realize you've lost an hour? I'm very very happy with this and with the amount of work I am now getting done. Yay.

Why I didn't remember about this sooner

ByIra gon May 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

I remember in elementary school my teachers made me use this because my handwriting sucked. I hated it! "Wasn't cool"
I want to get into writing books. I'm already blind as it is. So sitting and staring at the computer is not good for my eyes. And writing in a notebook is difficult for me.
With this, it's just like a computer minus the eye strain. It's simply a keyboard with a safe screen for your eyes. I love how simple it is to just connect to Word. And the best part is I can go outside and type on a sunny day. No glare. Not difficult to see the screen. And the battery life lasts for ever!
I love it! So so cool now!

The best fifty dollar I ever spent.

ByCatherine A. Carlsonon July 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this word processor. I've used it a little bit and have uploaded my writing to my computer. Easy as pie and it works great. Mine came with a rechargeable battery and if I don't use it for awhile, the battery depletes but it's easy to charge.

I like to use it when I don't feel like getting on the internet. I also love the keyboard. The keys are full size but I'm still getting used to it because I use my computer so much.

It's used but looks brand new and came with an adapter, and a usb cable.

I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a portable WP. It's easy to carry and sits more comfortably on your lap than a laptop
Right now I have it in our spare bedroom on a desk beside my Win 10 HP laptop and have it covered up with a cloth case my netbook came in to keep the dust off and preserve its condition.

So perfect may marry it

ByNatasha Davison December 10, 2015

I use the Neo 2 for distraction free writing, and for that, it literally cannot get any better.

The machine boots up in seconds so you can easily get to work. The screen has good contrast, about the same as a TI calculator. I have pretty terrible sight, and the standard font size is big enough to see clearly, though it can be made bigger or smaller depending on your preference. The keyboard has good tactile feedback, but it may be too loud for some. There are 8 file slots, with each able to hold more or less 10,0000 words. If you use for extended periods of time this may be a problem, but as I transfer my work weekly this has not been a huge issue for me.

The best feature for me is the godly battery life. In the months I have owned the neo 2 I am still trucking along, though just in case, I'll plan to change the 4AA batteries once a year so I'm not tempting fate. I also have an alphasmart Dana, and I much prefer the neo for this reason alone. The Dana has a backlight, a sort of touch screen, and a bigger screen with more features, but the battery life is only about ten or so hours. Between the neo and the neo 2, there is not much functional difference, save that there are more classroom features you probably will not use, and the neo 2 is a nicer charcoal color as compared to the inexplicably army green of the neo.

The main interface may take a while to get used to since we are so used to our GUIs, but you technically do no need to even use the interface, and the keyboard shortcut functions are printed on the back for easy reference.

Overall, this is an invaluable tool for writing, and if I had to name one downside, it would be having to constantly explain to friends, family, and curious onlookers what it is when I use whip it out. I usually say its a digital typewriter, though if I'm feeling cheeky, I'll just say it's a giant calculator.

Helpful accessories to the neo are a booklight so you can type in the dark (I use a mighty bright), and for traveling, a 13.3 inch laptop sleeve fits perfectly.

So great. :-)

ByRavenouson July 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Bought this used for writing distraction-free sometimes away from my computer. Great quality, nice feeling keyboard, and a basic lcd screen. From what I understand, one set of batteries in this piece of old tech should last over a year, and I believe it.

Plugged it into my computer the other day to transfer a story I wrote sitting in the garage, and it was so cool. :-) my computer basically considered the device as a keyboard. So once it was plugged in, I set up word, put the cursor where I wanted, and his "send" on the neo2. It proceeded to "type" the file into word at about 60wpm (very rough estimate). I walked away for a while, then came back to the file when it was done.

Very nice tool.

GREAT DEVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

BySheena Lynchon March 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

I had first heard about this devise in a writing group I am apart of, and I knew I had to have it. Works great, have had it about a month now, and I use it daily. It's got a full sized keyboard, which makes it comfortable to type on, and the batteries are not even close to going dead. They'll last me, at minimum, several months at least before I have to change them.

It has 8 different files (at the top of your keyboard) that you can name and organize your writing into. It has a built in thesaurus, spelling check, and so much more. It also is very lightweight, so it is easy to tote around with you.

I highly recommend getting this, or a device similar, especially if you like writing a lot.

No Distractions!

ByGreg Martinon August 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

One of the best attributes the Neo2 offers is battery life. Whereas the majority of my gadgets require charging at least daily, the Neo2 can last hundreds of hours on the AA batteries it uses. Another feature is simply the lack of distractions I face when using this. Between my laptop, phone, etc I find myself getting distracted when trying to write. Using the Neo2 eliminates any distractions which is a major plus. Connecting it to my laptop and Word is very simple. Depending on how much you have typed on the Neo2 it can take a little bit of time to transfer. The last two things I will mention are the portability and the keyboard. It is small and light enough to travel with wherever you are going. The keyboard is superb in my opinion. The keys have nice travel and isn't too loud when typing. If you are reading this and are looking for a new device for writing I cannot recommend the Alphasmart Neo2 enough. You will not be disappointed.
