2go PC
Friday, April 4, 2008
Compared with Asus Eee PC, the 2go PC made by CTL is a better solution taking into account the fact that it sports a larger LCD display of 9 inches, has about 10 times more HDD storage of 40GB, and more memory of 1GB.
The price difference is not big as 2go cost ranges between $400 and $500 and the Eee PC is available at around $400, but CTL’s mini-computer has several pluses which would make it worth double though.
Eee PC is more appreciated by women while 2go is optimized for students needs.
It features a light and resistant form factor, runs on Windows XP or Linux operating system, has a full keyboard, built-in web camera, and Wi-Fi connectivity, weighting under 3 lbs.

CTL is a computer manufacturer that owns the Nexus television brand and supplies to different large corporate brands such as Intel.
2go PC is powered by the Intel Celeron M CPU technology and the Intel 915GMS chipset, integrating two speakers, two USB ports, LAN ports, a 4-cel Li-Ion battery for up to 4 hours of use, and a memory card reader.
It is housed in a sturdy plastic case and has the base design of the second generation classmate PC powered by Intel.
“The 2go PC is the first such product to be available in the U.S.,” declared Erik Stromquist, CTL Corporation’s executive vice president. “We believe it will be very appealing to schools as a tool that fosters collaboration among students and teachers in the classroom. Parents will like it because it will make learning exciting for kids while also providing the controls they want on any computers their children use.”
