A netbook with a dual core processor? Yes, it’s the Raon Digital Everun Note
What’s this? A dual core mini-notebook/netbook system? Yes.. that’s right but it’s not what you might think. Instead of waiting for Intel to release a mobile dual core Atom processor, the new Raon Digital Everun Note utilizes a dual core AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. Not only do you get a dual core AMD Turion processor, you get ATI graphics via the ATI RS690E chipset, a 7 inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution, 1GB of memory, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR connectivity, Realtek HD audio, and 2-3 hours of battery life – all in a package that weighs around 1.5 pounds!
There are three configurations currently available. Two of them feature the AMD Turion 64X2 processor and the third one utilizes the AMD Sempron 3600/1.2 GHz processor. You can see the complete chart here:
Sounds really appealing right? WELL… the dual core Turions come at a price. According to CNET’s Crave, the Turion X2 model with 1GB of RAM, 60GB HDD, and no OS costs $799. If you want Windows XP Home, tack on another $50 dollars. If you want to replace the HDD with a 24GB SSD and Windows XP Pro, be prepared to pay $999. The entry level system with the Sempron processor and a 16GB SSD will set you back $659. Yes.. power.. even a bit more power comes at a price.
