Over the past few days, LaptopMag has been faithfully updating their findings on Everex Cloudbook CE1200V.

1. Blogging From the CloudBook
With a resolution of 800×480, blogging using the Cloudbook is no different from other ultra portables - lots of scrolling.

2. Don’t Believe the Skype
An error message was received when trying to install Ubuntu version of Skype.

3. CloudBook’s gOS Dock-Blocked my Pointer
Mouse pointer was blocked by gOS dock and may cause the user to click a dock icon by accident.

4. CloudBook Keyboard is Hot Stuff
Cloudbook got uncomfortably hot after 5 hours of usage.

5. Watching CNN Videos on CloudBook: Good Quality, Long Wait
Compared to Asus EeePC, Everex Cloudbook took a tad too long to load CNN videos.

6. Full Screen Firefox: CloudBook vs. Eee PC
Asus EeePC displayed a few extra lines of pixels compared to Everex Cloudbook. It looks like Asus has optimized Firefox theme to provide more real estate to the screen.

7. CloudBook Takes Almost 3 Minutes to Boot
Cloudbook took a long time to boot. A video showing the boot up has been uploaded to youtube.

8. Dude, Where’s My Internet?
Internet was disconnected for no apparent reason.

9. CloudBook Hibernation Mode: Slow and Error-Prone
Booting up from Hiberation took almost two minutes and not before receiving a few errors. Check out the video at youtube.

10. Waiting for CloudBook Apps to Load is Hardest Part
Add/Remove tool took almost 1.5 minute to load. Watch the video at youtube. Loading Firefox and Open office are comparatively faster in Asus EeePC.
