Everex Cloudbook CE1200V Mini Review

by atticus ~ February 16, 2008

LaptopMag has posted a mini review on Everex Cloudbook.

This is what they like about Everex Cloudbook CE1200V:

Desktop is clean and has easy-to-read icons
Pretty speedy Web surfing
SD Card slot automatically recognized memory card
OpenOffice included
DVI port worked fine
Wireless Logitech mouse was instantly recognized

Connecting Cloudbook to external monitor over DVI

This is what they do not like about Everex Cloudbook CE1200V:

The keyboard is cramped
The touchpad is laughably tiny
Slow boot up time (1min 30s)
Initial difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi network
Many windows extend below the desktop
Screen occasionally looks like it’s about to freeze or crash
Not able to get the TokBox application to work for video chats
No option to choose a higher resolution when connecting the Cloudbook to an external monitor

Mini touchpad above the keyboard

While it looks like Everex Cloudbook is still a little rough around the edges, LaptopMag will not be passing their final verdict until they have adequate time to play with the unit over the weekend.

Of course, they have to solve their blue screen problem before they can continue with their testing.

Update: LaptopMag has solved their blue screen problem.
