Since we’re on the topic of mini-notebook/ultra-portable systems, here’s yet another vendor getting into this growing market. The company is called 3K Computers and their mini-notebook system is called the “3K Longitude 400 Mini-Notebook PC. The system is priced at $399 which as you can imagine means this system isn’t quite as powerful as the Eee PC nor the HP Mini-Note. You get a 400MHz processor inside (they won’t say what the processor is exactly), only 512MB of RAM, and a 1GB 4GB flash drive. Gee.. for 100 dollars more, I get a beefier (but still weak) processor, more solid storage space, and the HP brand name (if that means anything to you). Sorry but the 3K system seems like a hard sell to me.

If you’re interested in knowing more of the specs, here it is:

• 7 inch WVGA (800 x 480) widescreen display
• 400MHz 32 bit Single Core processor (but what processor is this exactly??)
• 512MB of memory
• 1GB 4GB internal flash drive
• Linux OS
• 10/100 Ethernet
• 802.11 Wi-Fi
• Three USB 2.0 ports
• Full-size notebook keyboard
• Touchpad
• HD Audio
• Integrated speakers
• Media Card Reader
