This mini notebook incorporates an embedded single chip Mobile WiMAX solution, enabling connection to the “ultra-fast Sprint Xohm wireless broadband network”, as well as existing 802.11b/g WiFi networks.

The next-generation ultraportable from Everex also includes Bluetooth support, GPS receiver, Gigabit Ethernet port and dual built-in 2-megapixel webcams. There are also three USB ports, a VGA output, and 4-in-1 media card reader.
