Cool, at last a worthy competitor for the Asus Eee PC.
Look, this one has a proper hard-drive and a better card reader!
Hope they start selling this to Europe too...

I know it's cheap, but I'm not so keen on the big gap between the screen and the keyboard. I guess it probably elevates the screen without making the machine bigger, but personally prefer the appearance of the Eee PC. But competition is a good thing of course, so well done to Everex.

They basically took advantage of the battery which would otherwise stick out :)

I don't see why XP wouldn't work, probably be fine.

Probably not natively, but if it's like the Eee PC someone will mod it to work. Doubt it will be too nippy though.

These "cloud books" have been branded packard bell in the Uk, cost £350 from pc world and runs windows XP


having seen some reviews for this the main drawback is a poor quality screen apparently and an awkward location of the mouse scroll.

Good for cooling, fishing for pencils, and checking out the secretary's skirt.

ALL GOOD THINGS. :smile:
