How about this:

The Linux version uses MIPS but the Windows one has ARM.
Everyone (including Windows people) knows Windows CE sucks...
it's easy to port Linux to. Cheap, too. Available at Maplin (but I think the MIPS one got dropped from instore).

But THIS is the real goody I want:

REMOVABLE TOUCHSCREEN!

    * ARM Texas Instruments OMAP3 chip
    * 1024x600 8.9'' screen
    * Storage: 8GB SD card
    * Wifi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth
    * 3-dimensional accelerometer
    * Speakers, micro and headphone
    * 8 USB 2.0 (4 internal, 4 external)
    * 10 hours of battery life

This is insanely awesome. And they deliver to the UK!
$400 for full thing, $300 w/o keyboard, $45 to ship to the UK.
That makes about £270 total with the whole thing or £208 for just the screen
(computer's inside that, keyboard has a bigger battery inside).

Super deal.

Cheers
