First ULPC Notebook with Dual-Core AMD Processor Out
While Intel readies its dual-core Atom processor, a certain company called Raon Digital has already come up with a ULPC notebook (dubbed netbook) named EVERUN NOTE that uses a dual-core AMD Turion X2 processor that has low clock-speeds that reduce power consumption. The netbook comes with a 7" (1024 x 600 px) screen making it very compact, a 1.3 MP web-cam, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth connectivity and an electronic dictionary. It runs Windows XP, uses either a 12 GB SSD or 60 GB HDD storage. It tips the scales at a 742 g.
System specifications are as follows:

10 Comments on First ULPC Notebook with Dual-Core AMD Processor Out
1.2 GHz Dual Core is more than enough to run a vLited Vista quickly, and 60 GB of storage is enough space for music, movies and some low-tech games!
Any word on pricing? If its $499 or less I'm buying it.
There would be aftermarket 6-cell batteries for it if it becomes popular, and with that size and (comparable) power, it should be popular if they get the price right.
Also, the 2.5 hour battery life is internet browsing, which is probably the only thing besides work processing and flash faming you can do on that thing.
