Today I received a package coming from Dynamism: the Everun. This post is just to show the box and what was inside of it and to share my first impressions about this UMPC without having turn it on for the first time. I have shot a few pictures to document this short note because to me high resolution pictures work a lot better than any video review where the device is left in a secondary role and no details can be seen.

The first two pictures show the box which quality reminded me the one from the Samsung Q1.

 

Once the box is opened the first thing in the first layer is the Everun. The second layer contains the User's Manual and Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition CD.

 

The 3rd layer in the box contains the power supply, a carrying case, a extra stylus, a carrying strap and a VGA Cable.

 

The next pictures show the carrying case, a case that reminds me the one included with the TabletKiosk eo v7110.

Next is the VGA Cable.

I have left for the end two pictures of the Everun.

 

What I think about the Everun today, when I have not turned on yet? Well, I had the opportunity to have in my hands the first Raon UMPC, the Vega. Looking the Everun I can say that Raon has learned a lot during this first year and the quality of this second generation device  is a lot better than what I saw in the Vega. The Everun exterior looks very well finished. The buttons in this device are better defined and are easier to use than in the old Vega.

The Everun design impressed me because it's a very well made UMPC. But I repeat, I have not turned on yet. So here is an opportunity for you, my dear reader to ask whatever you want me to check in this device. I'll try my best to answer all your questions in my next post about the Everun.

What model do you have?


(When ever if ever, no rush)
Also can you install Google desktop and Google Earth?
It would bring some today screen esc qualities and file management abilities.

Mainly I just wanted to know how well it ran or its it slow?

I have not run any tests yet but I have been browsing a little bit the web and running a few programs and xp is reporting more than 4 hours.

Taking note...
About the model number, I don't see it anywhere.

According to the specifications from Dynamism it should be the S66HS, but I'll have to check the box to be sure when I get home.

I ran Google Earth. I works but it's very choppy. I'll shoot of it later.

Yeah I thought as much, actually I was expecting less and not run it at all but I heard that even though it has a weaker processor it handled itself pretty well.


The S6S would've came with a CF adaptor so it just might be the S66HS, its is the 2nd best alternative IMHO.

I'm really considering ditching my X51v for this everytime I see it.

BTW Ctianic is the QWERTY a pain to use, could you endure on it or would it punish you later? Also how is the optical mouse pointer? Do you find it easier than most UMPCs?
