Raon has finally revealed the pricing for its latest Everun Note “UMPC notebook”. Everun features AMD Turion 64×2 Dual Core at 1.2GHz, 1GB DDR2 RAM, ATI RS690E with 64MB DDR2 VGA, 7″ 1024*600 LCD. It also comes with optional 12GB SSD and 80GB 1.8″ hard disk, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 1.3M pixel CMOS Camera, SD/MMC slot, and more.
