Everex Launches the Next-generation CloudBook in Japan

So far, many rivals of Asus Eee PC have launched their mini laptops or have begun rolling out the second-gen of their mini laptops but Everex has fallen behind every laptop maker, although it released 7-in CloudBook which was the second low-cost laptop of Market after Eee PC 701.

This is nice to see that Everex has started rolling out the 8.9-in CloudBook in Japan.

Cloudbook CE1220J which is the update of first 7-in CloudBook comes with 8.9 inch (1024 x 600 pixels) display. Surprisingly, CloudBook has not moved to Atom processor and yet uses 1.2 GHz VIA C7-M for its new CloudBook.

It is powered by 1GB, and 60GB HDD. It features 802.11b/g, Ethernet, 2 USB ports, ExpressCard Slot, 4-in-1 card reader, VGA output, 4 cell, 2200mAh.

The laptop weighs in 2.1 lbs and runs on Windows XP SP3.

The Cloudbook CE1220J is not CloudBook Max which Everex promised to have the choice of WiMAX, 3G and 10-in display on it. I think we will be able to see CloudBook Max in the next year.
