3K's Windows CE-powered RazorBook 400 netbook goes half price, still won't sell
Man, remember just how great of a deal this looked like when it launched at $299 in May of last year? Funny how things change so rapidly, huh? Well, it's pretty comical unless you're 3K Computers, who now has a pathetic excuse of a netbook that it can only sell by slashing the asking price from $299 to under $150. Nearly web-wide, legitimate e-tailers are selling the RazorBook 400 CE for less than half of its original MSRP, and we're not even a full year into its life cycle. But really, who's jonesing for a CE-powered netbook (we could just stop there, truthfully) with a diminutive 7-inch display, 128MB of RAM and a processor that's slower (in clock speed, anyway) than that found in HTC's Touch Diamond? If you're sheepishly raising your hand, the read link's got sucker your name written all over it.[Via Laptoping]
3K Computers' RazorBook 400 gets hands-on treatment
The sub-$300 RazorBook 400 is far from being the most potent netbook on the block, but that succulent price tag will likely compensate in the eyes of some folks. If you're one such character, you'll probably want to take a look at the first hands-on video with said unit. Predictably, this bad boy is ridiculously small, and if the 45 second boot-up is any indication, it's pretty sluggish as well. Video is just after the break.
3K Computers gets extra official with RazorBook 400: now $299
Our feelings are largely unchanged about the lackluster RazorBook 400, but hacking a full Benjamin from the asking price is sure to get people looking. Yep, the subnote we previously heard would run around $400 has just been officially announced by 3K Computers at $299. Specs wise, everything is remaining the same -- less than 2-pounds, 7-inch display, 4GB of internal flash and a promised boot-up time of under 8-seconds -- but it just got a lot harder to brush this one off and look elsewhere.
3K RazorBook is revised 3K Longitude 400 -- still crappy
This new "in the wild" shot of 3K Computers' upcoming Eee PC killer just pretty much confirms what we already knew: it's a piece of crap. Lucky for us, it's now a piece of crap with a new name, the 3K RazorBook. The specs haven't budged, however, with a 7-inch 800 x 400 screen, 400MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB flash drive, unspecified Linux OS, WiFi and three USB ports. For $400 we're thinking no, but perhaps those are some really fast 400 megahertzes.
3K Longitude 400 Mini-Notebook -- you'll never guess what this reminds us of
Alright peoples, how many Eee PC knockoffs do we really need? Is 10 enough? How about 100? There seems to be no end in sight, and here comes the relatively unknown 3K Computers to give it a whirl. We'd say the first mistake is the 7-inch screen, gotsa stay ahead of the curve. Pair that with the 400MHz processor and a $400 pricetag and we haven't the slightest idea why we'd go in for this little Linux-based boringbook. Oh, wait... nope, we got nothing.
