While most ultra-portables being released in the market are showcasing Intel’s Atom processor, Raon Digital is taking the road-less-traveled-by with the Everun Note.

It’s the first ever AMD-powered netbook to be released in the market which will provide consumers with another option aside from the Atom- and Via-based models that are out now. The Everun Note will have an AMD Turion 64×2 1.2GHZ Dual Core processor, 1GB RAM, a brilliant 7-inch display with a maximum resolution of 1024×600, ATI graphics card, Wi-FI, Bluetooth, SD/MMC card reader, SIM card slot and an integrated 1.3-megapixel camera. Storage options available include an 80GB HHD and 12GB SSD. Windows XP will be the bundled OS; and the big silver lining, an approximate battery life of only 2.5 hours.

Due to its very compact size, it gets rid of some of the more conventional features found in other laptops in its category. In place of the traditional touchpad is what looks like a small joystick similar to the TrackPoint of the ThinkPad series by IBM/Lenovo. So far, the benchmarks are quite impressive though, quite frankly, much is left to be desired out of its standard battery pack.

September is the target release date, but the price is yet to be determined.
