Everex to introduce 3G/WiMAX 10.2-inch Cloudbook?

Reuben Lee | Jul 03, 2008

Even as Everex prepares to ship its much-awaited 8.9-inch Cloudbook Max with WiMAX later this quarter, rumors are already spreading that the company will launch a 10.2-inch model to compete in the same space as the ASUS Eee PC 1000 and MSI Wind. The leak, which is said to come from within Everex's manufacturing partner FIC, also indicates that the new Cloudbook will feature onboard 3G connectivity and optional WiMAX.

It is not firm whether the new 10.2-inch Cloudbook will use an Intel Atom or VIA processor or that it will run on Windows XP or Linux, but the information revealed so far suggests a maximum of 2GB RAM, 1,024 x 600-pixel display and a 1.3-megapixel Web camera. Connectivity-wise, in addition to 3G and optional WiMAX, it will come with 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, two USB ports, an ExpressCard slot and a 4-in-1 memory card reader. The Everex notebook, which has a 263 x 185 x 32mm footprint and weighs 1.2kg, is said to be bundled with a four- or six-cell battery.

According to the leak, the 10.2-inch Cloudbook is slated for a November launch this year. There is no word on whether it will make it to Southeast Asia. The 8.9-inch Cloudbook Max is expected to be launched in Taiwan and Japan next month, followed by the US in September.

ASUS Eee PC 904HD confirmed

Darius Chang | Jul 02, 2008

At least one model of the rumored new Eee PC lineup has been confirmed by PCretail with one new detail. The Eee PC 904HD will, like the Eee PC 1000H, come with a conventional spinning harddisk instead of solid state storage.

Essentially a Eee PC 1000H with an 8.9-inch display, the main draw for this device seems to be the cost and larger keyboard. The rumored pricing is around £250 (S$676.46), making it even cheaper than the Eee PC 900. The report only states that the unit will hit UK stores in a matter of weeks. We're still awaiting news from ASUS on when this unit will roll out in Asia.

Orbino design captures Air once again

Mike Yamamoto | Jul 02, 2008

Orbino is single-handedly trying to prove that there are better ways to design a MacBook Air case than the much-copied inter-office envelope look. Only a few months ago the Italian designer came out with its "Arista" series of bags for Apple's runway-model-thin laptop, and now it's introducing yet another case.

The Aria seeks to complement its beauty with brawn, made from both premium leather and "sculpted anodized aluminum frame". (There's apparently something about aircraft-grade aluminum that goes hand in hand with luxury products.)

It's a form-fitting case that hugs the Air like Vaja's US$280-plus Ivolution Leather Suit unveiled just recently--only it's even more expensive. The Aria, which is available in various colors, finishes, and exotic skins, carries a price tag that starts at US$529. If this trend keeps up, the cases may soon cost more than the computer itself.
