Everex Systems is known in the notebook PC market for its affordable StepNote laptops and CloudBook ultra-mobile PCs.
Everex plans to unveil a 10.2-inch low-cost laptop in November, PC Advisor reports.
First International Computer (FIC), a Taiwanese contract manufacturer of Everex mini-laptops, says the new 2.65-pound netbook will feature built-in 3G mobile broadband and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi capabilities and an option for WiMax wireless connection. According to FIC representatives, it can run either a Windows XP or Linux OS and use either a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor or a similar CPU from Via Technologies.
The Everex CloudBook MAX – an improved version of the company’s low-cost ultraportable laptop – will be available in the second half of 2008, according to the product page at Everex’s website.
Weighing less than 2.2 pounds, the Cloudbook MAX features a 8.9-inch display with 1024-by-600 resolution, which is an improvement over the 7″ 800×480 screen in the current CloudBook CE1200V model. The MAX incorporates an 1.6GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory (expandable to 2GB), and an 80GB hard drive. The system is based on VIA’s new VX800 chipset with the Chrome9 HC3 integrated graphics.
The Everex VA1500V, the company’s new low-cost notebook PC, is now available.
This $399 15.4-inch laptop, also known as the gBook, is based on the VIA C7-M processor at 1.50GHz and the VIA Chrome9 HC integrated graphics. The Everex VA1500V comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory, a 60GB hard drive, and a DVD/CD-RW Combo optical drive. Its display has a resolution of 1440-by-900 pixels.
After a few delays, the Everex CloudBook CE1200V ultra-mobile PC is now available for purchase through Wal-Mart.
The CloudBook is the first computer for the U.S. market based on the VIA NanoBook low-cost device with a 7-inch display and a laptop-like design.
Everex will release in the United States the CE260 ultra mobile computer based on VIA NanoBook device, BrightHand reports.
Currently, the pricing and availability dates of the Everex CE260 are not known. It is expected to be affordable because VIA NanoBook UMD (Ultra-Mobile Device), scheduled for release during the second half of 2007, is “targeted at aggressive consumer price points”.
