this thing looks really cool]]>Feb 7th 2008 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/
Other issues such as battery life, screen, wifi connectivity, power charger size etc. probably have to wait for comparative reviews.

So probably its a mixed bag. As an Eee owner I can recognize both machines have some faults. I'm happy with what I have though I wish they would fix the most glaring issues in the OS which are mostly usability annoyances.]]>Feb 7th 2008 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/
I DO see people snapping this badboy up.

Sure it's larger and heavier, but you get a lot of what's missing from this and the Eee -- for the same price.

This 6.3 lbs. monstrosity will not fit into my shoulder sling bag like my Eee 8G does. I can carry it with me without any significant weight or bulk added to my normal routine.

Please, SIZE does matter!]]>Feb 7th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/
At $399, maybe a 15.4 inch notebook does sound attractive. But at 6.3lb!? That's more than 3 times the weight of Eee PC. And the battery? It probably wouldn't last more than 2 hours with a AMD X2 DC 1.7Ghz and a 15.4 LCD. Eee PC runs 3.5 hrs and the CloudBook runs up to 5 hrs.

Now, if you can find me a so-called "real" notebook with a 5 hour battery for $399, weighing at 2 lb or less, I'll be the first one to order it.]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/
I simply could never bring myself to understand consumer.

I think a lot of people are going to get a bad taste of Linux from the GOS and it's going to scare them away.]]>Feb 7th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Most of us are going to yank gOS, install Ubuntu/XP and Frankenstein the H3LL out of it.
Just like we did onthe eeePC!]]>Feb 13th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/Feb 7th 2008 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/everex-cloudbook-sells-out-before-going-on-sale/
So spill it, don't keep it to yourself, hey you could even (dun dun DUN) put it on the web!11!ONE!11!
