A new version of the Asus Eee PC has been announced, this new model will be available in Japan only and is Linux-free. The new model will instead be running Windows XP Home Edition and will be called the 4G-X. Specs are similar to the standard 4G that we currently have and include the 7-inch 800 x 480 display, 900Mz Intel Celeron M processor, 512MB of RAM, three USB ports, SD card reader, ethernet port, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and a 0.3-megapixel webcam.

There are some other goodies included though, the 4G-X is also bundled with a 4G SDHC card, optical mouse and free access to the NTT WiFine hotspot network. The 4G-X will go on sale beginning Friday and retail for ¥50,000, which is around $468 US.

No word if or when this Windows XP version will hit the states, but don’t forget its a fairly simple process to switch your Eee over to Windows, that is provided you can follow some simple instructions.
