Laptop has posted a review of the Cloudbook.
Their positive impressions -
Desktop is clean and has easy-to-read icons
Pretty speedy Web surfing
SD Card slot automatically recognized.
OpenOffice
DVI port worked fine.
The keyboard is cramped
The touchpad is laughably tiny and is awkwardly located above the keyboard on the right side. The two very small mouse buttons are located on the left side above the keyboard.
Slow boot up time.
Initial difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi network
Many windows extend below the desktop. (Everex says this may be a problem with the evaluation model we were given, but we can’t confirm.)
Screen occasionally looks like it’s about to freeze or crash, but doesn’t.
Meebo worked fine for IM but we could not get the TokBox application to work for video chats, even tough we were asked to allow access to the CloudBook’s camera.
No option to choose a higher resolution.
Summary: No final judgment yet, but so far it’s pretty rough around the edges and you definitely trade off some speed for storage space versus the Eee PC but it has potential especially if Everex addresses the concerns raised.
