I know 3K might not sound familiar at all to you because 3K is just a small Florida based builder. However you might be interested in their new UMPC, the Razor 400 which is available for just $299.
I have two questions. Why Razor? Couldn’t you come up with any other name? There are so many Razor things out there. Why another UMPC? Aren’t there enough already? Do we need more startup companies trying to pitch their mini laptop idea? Apparently I have more than two questions…

Since I don’t know why they picked that name, I’ll try to answer the other questions. Let’s see if 3K has what it takes to take over the world with their Razor 400.

• 7 inch 800 x 480 pixel display,
• 512 MB DDR2 memory,
• 4 GB flash story,
• Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity,
• Linux operating system.

Ok now here’s where I say we have too many UMPC and that this Razor might not make it. So 3K you might just try something else in the near future. Here’s why; the chip of this thing is a 400MHz version of Ingenic’s Jz4740 CPU. This Chinese chip is actually supposed to equip GPS, PMP and smartphone devices. No matter how fast I tend to doubt its notebook capabilities.

Otherwise all sounds fine. Eee-ish I might say. But the chip throws me off. What do you think of 3K’s Razor 400? Would you go for it?
