Everex have been getting a lot of media time of late. They seem to make really check PC’s that give pretty good value. The latest computer to be released is the mini gPC, and is focused directly at the Mac Mini.
Inside you get an 1.86GHz Intel Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2130 (1MB L2 Cache, 1.86GHz, 533MHz), 120GB Hard Disk Drive, 512MB DDR2 667 SDRAM, DVD+/-RW, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator GMA950, Realtek ALC268 High-Definition Audio, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port, DVI-I Port, S-Video Port, IEEE 1394 Port, USB 2.0 Ports, 4-in1 Media Card Reader, Headphone/Line-Out Port, Microphone/Line-In Port. All this for as little as $US499.
It also comes with the custom Linux OS, that they seem to put on all the Everex gear, but considering you can get a notebook with better hardware for around the same price, it isn’t as sweet a deal as the other Everex PC’s. To top it off, it isn’t very attractive to look at, which is a small thing, but if you pay the cash you’d expect a little nicer design.

As you probably noticed the 25th of January has already flown by and no sign of the Everex Cloudbook. I know everyone is excited to see the little guy who can actually compete with the EeePC, but according to Everex that ship date is now the 15th of February. They didn’t change the price, keeping at $US399, so I will still give them some respect.

Everex, known for their series of extremely cheap and extremely popular budget computers, have announced there entrance into the UMPC market with the upcoming Cloudbook. Like the series of desktops already scattered around, this little machine will feature a custom version of Linux and an assortment of Google tools.
Inside the 9-inch wide Cloudbook you get a 7-inch screen (not touch unfortunately and res unknown), 1.2GHz VIA C7-M (ultra low voltage), 30GB hard disk drive, 512 RAM, WI-FI, Ethernet, DVI-I, 4in1 card reader and 1.3MP Webcam. Its 4 cell lithium-ion battery, will also give you a reasonable 5 hours of battery life.
This little guy will be available later this month (25Th Jan) and will sell for $US399. I like to think it is a interesting device with a great price point, but without a touch screen or at least a way of hiding the keyboard, it is just a small notebook.
