Raon Digital Everun Note D24S & S16S video demo
After Raon Digital announced their two new SSD-based Everun Note models, the S16S and D24S, we've been waiting to see how the switch to solid-state storage affects their performance. Given that the original Everun Note was known as something of a pocket power-house, only held back by its traditional 60GB hard-drive, the stakes are certainly high. UMPCPortal's Steve has just received the Everun Note S16S and D24S, and tested them out in a huge 2hr marathon.

AMD planning netbook strategy for November reveal
AMD are preparing to reveal their netbook intentions at an analyst meeting on November 13th. Management at the company have previously been apathetic toward the segment, with VP of advanced marketing Pat Moorhead suggesting they only really made sense "around the house" rather than as a valid mobile warrior tool; CEO Dirk Meyer is now describing the AMD strategy as a "complicated answer". It's likely to address both battery life and video performance, both key areas criticised by Moorhead.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 41 2008
Laptops big and small have monopolized the headlines this week, with the most anticipation being Apple’s upcoming MacBook event on Tuesday October 14th. SlashGear will be live-blogging the whole thing, so join us at http://Live.SlashGear.com at 10am PST. Meanwhile the ‘Brick’ rumors of what Steve Jobs might be announcing keep on coming: we’ve seen water-jet cutting systems, $800 price-points and several purported photo leaks. Of course, Apple are saying nothing until Tuesday; they’re too busy blaming NVIDIA for a spate of MacBook graphics failures.
Raon Digital Everun Note gets SSD storage, cheaper version
Raon Digital's Everun Note has generally done a great job impressing reviewers with its balance of portability and power; the only two areas of real contention have been the speed of the hard-drive and the device's price. Raon Digital ship the Everun Note with a standard 60GB hard-drive that dragged down the benchmarks, and the sticker price of $879 is high compared to other ultraportable devices. Now the company has announced two new versions, both with SSD storage, to slot either side of the existing HDD model, and in the process offer a cheaper path to ownership.

Segment Saturation: Where next for Netbooks?
Read SlashGear – or any tech website – even semi-regularly and you’ll see new netbooks appearing pretty much every day. The niche that started off with the Eee PC 700 as an unusual budget ultraportable has flourished to the point where most major notebook manufacturers have at least one on sale or in the pipeline. Just as common, however, as the new models is the phrase “another 1.6GHz Intel Atom”; the netbook market may not have reached saturation point, but has our interest in the same old hardware?
Raon Digital Everun Note internal 3G WWAN mod
Raon Digital were holding up a red-rag with their Everun Note, including a PCI-Express Mini slot and SIM card holder: it was only a matter of time until someone slotted a 3G WWAN modem in there. Taking the guts of an AT&T AirCard 875U, a UMPC Fever forum member dismantled their Everun Note and threaded an antenna around the LCD bezel.

Raon Digital recall Everun Note: overheating, blue-screens & dodgy battery gauge
It can't be in too many hands as of yet, but the Everun Note is about to be snatched out of them and dragged back to base. Raon Digital have recalled the compact touchscreen notebook over "failure symptoms" that include high-pitched fan noise, blue-screening, overheating processor, inaccurate battery monitor levels or "an error related to the preinstalled e-dictionary and/or PDA authentication".

Overpriced Netbooks only good for ‘around the house’ says AMD VP
Somewhat ironic in following a netbook unboxing, but AMD's Pat Moorhead, VP of advanced marketing, doesn't seem too impressed with the whole budget ultraportable trend. Despite Intel's fabrication plants working like crazy to meet demand (and being featured in more and more devices from big-name companies), Moorhead says AMD are "taking a wait and see attitude on it". He also goes on to criticize the price creep in the segment, where machines that initially aimed for a $299 price tag are now nearer to $499.

Raon Digital Everun Note Reviewed: Flexibility & Power, at a price
I know a lot of SlashGear readers, like me, have been following the developing story of the Everun Note, the souped-up subnotebook from Raon Digital. Since the first prototypes were spotted in June, and Raon Digital themselves leaked some impressive performance stats, interest in the AMD Turion 64×2 Dual Core 1.2GHz UMPC has been high. After an unboxing and benchmarks, Steve Paine has finally posted his full review of the Everun Note, and while it's obviously not for everyone, this is certainly an exciting crossover device.
