I really like the idea of the small netbook size ultra mobile notebooks. What I don’t like about them is that the cheap ones tend to run Linux. Yeah I know the Linux fans out there say that is a huge upside, but let’s face it for the majority of the computer jocks out there it’s Windows all the way.

Not too long ago 3K Computers announced a new ultra-portable notebook to battle against ASUS and its popular Eee line of netbooks. The first version of the RazorBook 400 3K announced was running on Linux. Today 3K announced a new version of the RazorBook 400 that runs on Windows CE.

The best part is that despite running on Windows the new RazorBook 400 still keeps the same $299 price tag. For that amount of money you get a 7-inch TFT LCD and 4GB of flash based storage. The screen resolution is 800 x 480 and the processor is a low power Ingenic 400MHz single core. You won’t be doing any processor or graphics intensive applications on the little notebook, but for surfing the net, listening to music and chatting the Windows CE RazorBook 400 may be perfect.
