For $450 at WorstBuy this week, you can get a 1.6ghz Pentium Dual Core (Core 2 Duo with cut back L2 cache), 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, dual layer DVD-RW, 15.4" Screen, the usual 802.11b/g, and a free after rebate printer (which will probably be junk but i'm sure some relative will leach it off you). Although Vista Home Premium will probably make it feel like a 1.2Ghz VIA.

For a Benjamin and Grant or what some people spent at some stuck up coffee shop for a week (although those people usually have Macbooks), you can step up to an Acer with an dual core AMD Turion X2, 2GB RAM, GeForce 7000m graphics, 160GB HDD, dual layer DVD-RW, 15.4" screen. Not bad for $600 and will even run Vista semi decently.]]>Jan 17th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/
if it works for ya, buy it

getting stuck in the OS bloatware wormhole is not something you want on light hardware

if all you're doing is browsing the internet, editing photos and documents, listening to music, and watching video, the os doesn't matter anymore.]]>Jan 17th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/Jan 17th 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/Jan 24th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/Jan 17th 2008 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/
However, I'm not all that disappointed. Im actually rather glad that Asus isn't all alone in this market. Ultraportables and other such devices are likely the next big thing, since most people don't care about power apps on the road. I don't think anyone really needs to be playing Crysis during meetings or class, so these are exactly what such people need; something cheap, reliable, small, and not necessarily all that fast. I'm definitely getting one of they can get some competition going in this market.]]>Jan 17th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/everex-to-stun-the-world-with-9-inch-cloudbook-devbook-mini-de/

Im still looking at an Eee, but that DevBook sounds nice to me.

Ill have to wait till we get some more formal announcement with specs, pics, and other info.

If its comparable to the Eee, and there is a good community, I might go DevBook.]]>Jan 17th 2008 4:23PM
