Everex may not be one of the things that has held Windows-based ultramobile PCs back.

“We need to incentivize people, so we are going very, very aggressive” on price, Kim said.

Everex sold 10,000 gPCs in the U.S. during Christmas, Kim said. Version 2 of the gPC in a slightly smaller case will be available by the end of February, and Everex hopes to sell 100,000 gPCs by September.

Though not well-known to mainstream consumers in the U.S., Everex’s parent company, First International Computer Inc., has long supplied components and whole desktop and notebook PCs to Fujitsu Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, Gateway (now part of Acer), NEC and others.
