Everex CloudBook CE1200V First Thoughts Review by NotebookReview

by atticus ~ February 28, 2008

First impressions reviews are usually short and lack details. However, the first thoughts review by NotebookReview is thorough and does not assume that the reader is already familiar with Everex Cloudbook CE1200V.

Besides photos, they have posted two videos providing a closer look at Everex Cloudbook CE1200V and comparing the ultra portable with Asus EeePC 4G.

The review ends with the following conclusion:

The CloudBook is an impressive design with some innovative features and some reasonably impressive specs for the $400 price tag. However, it’s clear that VIA and Everex had to make the number of sacrifices to bring this ultra-mobile notebook to the market for such a low price.

The low-capacity slow hard drive, and slow overall performance make the CloudBook a less than compelling purchase compared to the current generation Asus Eee PC 4G … despite the much smaller storage space. We reserve final judgment for our full review, but we certainly hope the CloudBook performs better under Windows Vista than it has under the default gOS version of Linux. Stay tuned for our full review of the Everex CloudBook in a few days.
