So by the sound of it the read/write speeds for both the D16S and D24S are the same even though the D24S has the faster 8GB SLC SSD?

Just ordered a S16S (open box from Dynamism). Haven’t gotten it yet but the only negative (for me at least) was the fan. Would it be possible to go fanless?

The size, form factor, touchscreen, and price were more important to me than the dual core. Besides, the graphics card should still give it a boost over other netbooks. Currently have an eee 701. Considered the dell mini since its already fanless but the larger size killed the deal. I needed something smaller but with a somewhat usable screen. Had an oqo for a bit but the screen just too small; 7″ is my absolute minimum now.

I did some research and a sempron 2100+ 9W should fit (same S1 socket) but might be redundant since the stock sempron is already underclocked (1.2ghz vs 2.0; 25W spec but couldn’t find any info on underclocked drain). And, although the 2100 is designed for fanless operation, would the bios recognize it? Would I have to install a driver?

Assuming it is possible could I just disconnect the fan or remove it and install some sort of mini heatsink?

Thanks for clarifying, Brett….now, if they only made the Note in black….

Linux does work with D24S and D60H, but there is no support for the internal WiFi so S16S is supplied with a USB WiFi

(I don’t expect a driver for the internal WiFi)

sadly, they will not be making any black Everun Notes

yes, absolutely

the Hard Disk versions are identical to the SSD versions, and very fast SSD will be available soon for all Everun Note (1.8″ ZIF @ 5mm)

Just curious if one buys the HD version, can it be changed to an SSD drive later??

From the teardown pictures on the net it looks the RAM is soldered on. So the answer is no ;-(

So where are the black ones? Everyone has only white Everuns in stock?
Would Linux work with D24S? Whats the deal with fan controller issue under Linux?

Can it take 2GB of ram ?

Thanks

It’s an older single core design similar to the Intel Celeron.

Is the sempron dual core?

The Sempron appears to be responsible for the additional drain in the S16S. The D30H I tested had 2:30-2:45 battery, the D24S version is 3hrs. I can only assume that the D24S device is 1) a final version (the D30H I tested was production sample) 2) saving some power by using SSD.

The D24S with an extended battery could be a very interesting 4hr+ device….but expensive!

I’ll be getting the large battery and external charger in Dec so i’ll let you know.

I think JKK tested a 3G card on the Everun that worked.
I can’t remember the type though. Was it Sierra Wireless?
