The General Dynamics GD6000

David Allen — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:00:54 +0000

This is one serious laptop, this has been designed to survive in the most serious of hostile conditions and yet it can still carry out all of the operations that anyone would ever need. The primary market for this is clearly the military and security organisations, or perhaps it would be good for some heavy handed computer users too.

Raon Digital Everun Notebook with Touchscreen?

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:08:14 +0000

The new Raon Digital Everun Notebook comes with a touchscreen and lots of “small” functionalities for the power user at the current predicted retail price of $879 USD. It looks pretty small to me and I do like that couple with a 7″ 1024×600 pixels, which provide you with plenty room to scroll. Of course, the price doesn’t justify the features provided in my opinion but there’s enough power in this small 7-inch beast. (I do like the Windows XP, no more Vista on any of my new comps.) This balance of leading-edge power, battery life and miniaturisation doesn’t come cheap but in the world of pro-mo devices, this is really on-the-mark. The recommended sales price is $879 (US, before tax.) which means its way, way cheaper than the other high-performance UMPCs, the Sony UX and the Q1 Ultra Premium and it includes a 16mm pitch keyboard and easy 3G upgrade path. With Windows XP Home (yes, I know some of you would be looking for TE or Vista) it will really fly. via engadget, umpcportal Other Resources: Link to Technical Specs of Raon Digital Everun Notebook a 1024x600, 7" Netbooks, battery life, beast, functionalities, high performance, keyboard, Laptop News, … Continue reading →
