Well, while the Efika MX Smarttop is a bit bigger and a bit more expensive, it's also ahelluvalot more usable, and I mean usable for *real stuff*.
True, but for Braben's purposes (giving students a dirt-cheap machine to do a lot of tinkering on) it's quite suitable. I hope that this works out the way he thinks it will - it's high time kids were learning how to program again.
