The Raon Digital Everun Note claims to be the first dual-core Netbook. Though at a price as high as the HP Mini-Note--coming in at over S$1,200 (US$839.16)-- coupled with its small 7-inch screen and cramped keyboard, this may be a hard sell even if the display is of the touchscreen variety.
But Roan Digital has bigger problems than convincing consumers to shell out over a grand for a Netbook. Pocketables reported that the Everun Note is being recalled for various issues ranging from high-pitched fan noise to blue screen of death and an overheated processor. A worrying thought considering that markets such as Singapore will be getting their first units only later this month.
However, TrendsMobile (the distributor for Roan Digital products in Singapore) gave assurances that the recall affects the first batches which were retailed only in Korea. Shipments for the international markets should not experience any of these issues. In any case, should there be any unusual hardware issue, the unit should be referred to the local service center for diagnosis.
