AMD Turion64X2 Everun note UMPC Raon Digital @ Computex 2008

I have already pre-ordered one of these but the black versions are delayed. Most people I have seen want the black version yet the white version is available first. This makes no sense to me at all.

White is actually more popular in Asia, esp. Korea and Japan.

the Black ones will be available in a few months.

[CynicalPhuker]

Interesting, is this definitely a few months? Some places have said they expect black to be in a few weeks but they did not sound sure at all. Is this confirmed? Thanks for the reply.

[conicsnet]

well, we still have no news on the Black colour dates, I'll see what Raon has to say about it...

[CynicalPhuker]

I contacted Raon about this some time ago and they told me that a black version was not even planned period.

I hear you can buy it OS less.

The trackball works like an upside-down optical mouse. Chippy from umpcportal thinks it works well.

[conicsnet]

yes, the pointer takes a bit of getting used to, but after a while it's quite easy to use.

[cognizant]

It looks like a larger version of the nintendo DS or libretto 50-100 when closed. How does the mouse work,is it a micro trackball? Seems like its a powerful subsub notebook as it has a AMD turion in it.

[conicsnet]

This PC should be availble from approx September 2008, sorry I don't know much more about it yet.

[markoresko]

Oh, It has touchscreen, great!.

But What OS is inside? Some Linux i hope?

Sorry, there was no information at Computex (June 2008), ans so far - none since
