For those who are waiting for theirs to be sent please note i placed an order for one in march finally got it start of sept after many telephone calls. (i got mine quicker because i changed the colour i wanted i just asked what they had in stock and went for it) when the unit arrived it didn’t switch on. so sent it back one week later the replacement arrives the unit switches on but doesn’t charge up of run of the mains power. have sent that back and am waiting for money back.
Spoke to elonex to find out when i will get my money back they advised it will take over 7 days before they will authorise it. by the same gentleman got advised if i complain they will delay my refund. Elonex have made some nice money here especially on the interest of all the money they had in their bank for 6 months.!!!

I received an email to tell me i would receive mine at the end of august…. august came and went and so i emailed them to ask when i would be getting my laptops.. i got a reply back saying that the last batch were held up at customs and i will definately receive them in 7-10 days………….. the 10 days was up today, so i will be emailing them again tomorrow….. no at all happy at being fobbed off all the time! I am now thinking i will be lucky to receive them before christmas.

@ Fosgon & netbsd
Apologises on the touch screen front, must have misread this somewhere.

@ Paul L
The Eee PC 701 is probably a lot better in most ways than the Elonex, what with Asus’ experience with laptops. However it was the price that was most intriguing about the One. It looks as if no one will receive their One until September at the earliest.

Has anybody actually received one of these yet? I ordered mine in March and am still waiting. Initially I was promised delivery in June; this became from June but before September. After waiting for months I received a request for payment in early July (as did my sister who ordered 4 weeks after me – so much for the first ordered first delivered policy). I am promised dispatch within 28 days – so sometime next week. I am, however, not confident this will happen. Whenever I have contacted Elonex their customer service is pathetic – no access to customer records but it’s coming soon.
In the meantime I’ve got a EEEPC 701 – walked into the shop, picked it up, paid and walked out – no problems; and I love it. Tried it with XP, worked OK but slow; now running Mint Linux – brilliant! Hope the One lives up to my expectation.

The One doesn’t have a touch screen. It is detachable but not Touch.
