Everex has released new Cloudbook SC1200T in Taiwan with 1GB of RAM and Windows XP as operating system instead of Linux-based gOS. Other features of this new model are pretty much the same as classic Cloudbook CE1200V sold in US. The unofficial source reports that the Cloudbook SC1200T retail price is between 14,000 and 15,000 TWD (about USD $459 and USD $492).

Cloudbook SC1200T runs Windows XP

You might remember that Everex has been having some tricky luck lately, with the Cloudbook’s repeated delays, and their uber-low-cost gPC being removed from the shelves at Wal-Mart, due to low sales.

Unlike the gPC though, this tiny computer has a slicker look and a slimmed-down form-factor.

Specs:

• 1.86GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2130 (1MB L2 Cache, 1.86GHz, 533MHz)
• 120GB Hard Drive
• 512MB DDR2 667 SDRAM
• DVD+/-RW Drive
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GMA950
• Realtek ALC268 High-Definition Audio
• Ethernet Port
• DVI-1 Port
• S-Video Port (which regrettably, the Eee doesn’t have)
• Four USB ports
• 2-in-1 Media Card Reader
• Price: $499 (which is actually more expensive than their gPC and Impact desktop PCs)

It has the look of a Mac Mini, and runs gOS (green OS) ‘Space Dock’, which is pretty spiffy looking, and it comes preloaded with many of the same standard Linux apps that the Eee PC does, including Firefox, Skype, Openoffice, GIMP, etc.  Much like the Eee PC’s OS, the gOS has many links to online applications, many of them Google.

Curiously, this mini PC is optimized for MySpace users: “The limited edition gPC mini (MyMiniPC) provides MySpace users with a customized platform to easily collaborate, modify and update webpages on the world’s most popular social networking site.”

In fact, the tag line on their product page reads “Exclusively created for the +100,000,000 MySpace users of the world”.  I can’t say that I agree with this marketing strategy, as it excludes a whole demographic of people who don’t use MySpace, but Web 2.0 integration is still a good idea, in my opinion. I just wish this mini PC was priced a little bit lower.
