Everex gPC mini Hands On: Look Out Mac Mini?

The folks at Wired recently got their hands on Everex's new gPC mini Linux based PC, and initial impressions indicate that it is a good value based on specs, but they note that gOS Linux is still not ready for prime time as a viable Windows alternative. That having been said, outside of some problems picking up monitor resolution and the notable lack of Wi-Fi, the gPC mini "worked fine." More »

Everex mini gPC Doesn't Remind Us Of Mac mini At All

The first thing that comes to mind when you see the Everex mini gOS Linux PC is that it looks just like a Mac mini except in black it is a smart way to slim down after that comically bulky Wal-Mart-special gPC that launched Everex's open-source strategy. And with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile processor, a DVD writer, DVI and S-Video outs, FireWire and a 4-in-1 media reader, it's leagues ahead of other Linux boxes such as the subscription Zonbu. The Everex mini is slated to arrive at Newegg at the end of the week for a reasonable $499, but tell us, guys, seriously, did you have to deliberately go with a lowercase "m"? Hell, that's just provocation. [Everex]

Everex Cloudbook Coming To Walmart.com

The Everex Cloudbook that we showed you a month ago has finally been given an official release date. So if you were hoping to get the $400 Eee PC rival, it will be available from Walmart.com on January 25th. There's no word on if you'll be able to pick one up at an actual brick-n-mortar Wal-Mart store, so the website might be the only option. [Everex]

Everex Targeting the Eee PC With the New "Cloudbook"

It appears that Everex, the same company that sent Wal-Mart shoppers into a tizzy of values with its Linux-based gPC , now has its sites set on the Asus Eee PC with a new ultra-portable dubbed the "Cloudbook." The device will feature a 7-inch screen and the same Linux gOS found in the gPC. A 1.3 megapixel webcam is also rumored to come standard. Additional image and info after the break. More »

Everex $200 Linux gPC Hits Wal-Mart, Bowls Rednecks Over

Can the masses be wooed by Linux? Second-tier PC maker Everex teamed up with a startup called gOS to build the gPC TC2502, a $199 VIA-powered Ubuntu 7.10 Linux system with an Enlightenment E17 interface. Although they assure us that the "g" doesn't stand for Google, the PC's productivity will be almost solely derived from Google apps accessed through Firefox: Mail, Calendar, News, Maps and Documents & Spreadsheets. It will also come with OpenOffice.org 2.2 and some other freeware Linux faves. But again, the question is, will the Wal-Mart crowd bite the bait? More »
