Elonex is apparently following up on the success of the company’s Elonex One laptop with a new model, called the Elonex One T. The Elonex One was a bit different from other netbooks in that all of the PC components (storage, RAM, CPU, and so on) were hidden behind the screen. The result is that […]

The 3K RazorBook has an extended family
When you buy a computer from a well known company, there’s a good chance it was actually manufacturer by a less well known company that specializes in producing OEM computers and electronics for big companies like Acer, HP, and Dell. Every now and then you’ll even find two companies selling nearly identical machines based on […]
3K RazorBook 400 to come in Linux or Windows CE flavors
The 3K RazorBook, with its 400MHz processor probably isn’t going to best the MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One, or Eee PC 901 in any speed contests. But the tiny laptop with its custom version of Linux and $299 price tag is certainly a viable alternative for someone who wants to do some light word processing […]
Skytone Alpha 400: Chinese Razorbook
Cloudbook UMPC uncovered some details about an upcoming mini-notebook from China’s SkyTone. If the SkyTone Alpha 400 looks familiar, there’s a good reason for that. The computer appears to sport the same casing and most of the same specs as the 3K Razorbook 400. The Alpha 400 packs a 7 inch display, a 400MHz CPU, […]
3K slashes RazorBook 400 price to $299
The 3K RazorBook 400 hasn’t even hit store shelves yet, and already the company is cuttings MSRP by 25%. At $400, the Razorbook looked like a pretty crappy Eee PC wannabe. At $300? Well, yeah, it still pretty much looks like a crappy Eee PC wannabe. But the lower price, plus the fact that it’s […]
Laptop Mag gets hands-on with the 3K Razorbook 400
The 3K Razorbook 400 is a $399 laptop that’s being marketed as an alternative to the Asus Eee PC. At first glance, it looks pretty reasonable. It’s got a 7 inch 800 x 480 pixel display, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of flash memory. But as I’ve mentioned before, I have a few concerns. First, […]
3K renames the Longitude: Meet the RazorBook 400
3K is promoting its new RazorBook 400 mini-notebook. And if it looks familiar, there’s good reason. It’s pretty much the same computer 3K was showing off last month, only back then it was called the Longitude. Aside from the name change, I don’t see many changes. The computer’s still got: 7 inch 800 x 480 […]
Coby could launch a sub-$100, Windows CE-powered netbook
Coby has been showing off a line of 7 to 12 inch mini-laptops for the past year or so. But the company hasn’t actually sold very many computers in the US to date. But that coudl change this year, with Coby perhaps focusing on one of the areas where it performs best: Dirt cheap products […]
Skytone Alpha convertible tablet with Google Android
The Skytone Alpha 400 was one of the dirt cheap mini-laptops with an Xburst processor and a choice of Linux or Windows CE. We’ve seen dozens, if not hundreds of these little guys with Xburst or ARM-based CPUs over the past few years. But Charbax from ArmDevices spotted one of the most intriguing models I’ve […]
Google Android port for Xburst CPUs on its way
I haven’t fully jumped on the Google Android for netbooks bandwagon. The operating system is designed for cellphones with low resolution displays and slow processors. And the number of applications available for Google Android pales in comparison to the huge variety of apps that you can run on Windows or Linux netbooks. But today I’m […]
