Raon Digital Everun Note Or The Libretto 2.0? Options

[teh.sean]

Well guys, this is as close as it gets to a Z killer for me. I've been (and still am) an avid Toshiba Libretto user for the past few years. The 50CT, 70CT and an imported M3 got me by in an 8'' x 4.5'' 1'' form factor that was easily touch type for even my large hands.


Everun Review from UMPCPortal

Last month RAON released the Everun Note. In a very similar form factor (a cm shorter and a cm taller) it boasts the following:
2 USB ports
1 USB mini B port (for use as a hard drive: you can actually plug this laptop into another PC and it shows up as a portable HD)
Wifi
Bluetooth
SD card slot
USIM card slot (currently there isn't a 3G /HDSPA receiver in the laptop, though the pads are there!)
PCIe slot
60 GB HD
1GB ram
Dual Core AMD 1.2Ghz proc (which is faster than it sounds; this is leaps better than the current net book stuff)
ATI something or another beefy GFX card, I can't remember

At any rate, it's something I can touchtype on again that is pretty dang small.
The ups are size and power, the downs are the funny mouse and battery life (a pale 2.5 hrs), but for Libretto lovers, I think this is the next thing. Check it out and discuss.

I'm running ubuntu (8.04, 8.10 and now 9.04).

I also get external resolution 1920x1200, which, from windows is not available; windows graphic driver allows only a max external resolution of 1600x???.

My 40GB is splitted in a 20GB Vista and 17GB ubuntu partitions; I just have office 2000 installed in the windows partition, and I only have 500MB free!!

I have to agree that the cramped keyboard and its configuration is really poor; but on the other side, couldn't be bigger for this small footprint, I guess, so I have to live with it as long as I get such a small computer.

It's my main computer, actually, and soon it'll be 1 year old with daily use !!
