Good questions. Hopefully they can answer to them.

The real question is whether it will:

1) Correct the issues that made the original largely unusable
without some hacking (e.g. the "0-button mouse":
http://www.altechnative.net/2011/06/07/genesi-efika-mx-smartbooks-0-button-mouse/ )

2) Be an improvement on the Chromebook's spec
(specifically: more RAM and higher res screen than the
Chromebook)

I loved the original Efika MX Smartbook, but it was thoroughly
overshadowed by the AC100 once the community got the kernel
support for the hardware fully sorted out. Let's hope that the
new model doesn't suffer the same fate even before it's release
date...

Hi, there is a new version of the Efika MX Smartbook that has just
started to be produced by our licensee in Mexico. It will be generally
available in a couple of months. It will be fully hackable, as its
predecessor. Please email us if you have questions. We appreciate the
interest.

Best regards, R&B
