UMID might never have become a household name, but the company produced some of the more interesting mini-clamshell computers over the past few years, including the mBook line of devices.

The Raon Digital Everun Note is a tiny laptop that bucks the netbook trend by packing a dual core AMD Turion 64×2 CPU, a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, and a starting price tag of around $900 (although the price for a base model eventually dropped by a few hundred bucks).

Either Sharp has succeeded in pricing its upcoming Mebius PC-NJ70A laptop well out of the netbook range, or it just costs an arm and a leg to import this kind of computer from Japan. Either way, PC importer Dynamism is taking preorders on the Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A for a whopping $999. While that’s more than twice the price of an…
