Bandai Namco Rilakkuma Netbook

What do you get if Kohjinsha goes to bed with Bandai-Namco? – a kiddish netbook. Sporting a weak, yet extremely power-frugal Atom Z520 processor, 60GB hard disk, 1GB RAM and an 8.9-inch swivel touchscreen display with an amazing 1280×768 resolution.

Runs Windows 7 Home Premium and costs a bit more (actually, a lot more) than the usual netbooks that you see around – $997 (90,000 Yen).

Bandai’s new offering – Rilakkuma Netbook

Now, the netbook manufactures seem to be not only targeting the business individuals, but also the kids. Bandai has come with a netbook that is meant for children, the Rilakkuma netbook. The Rilakkuma netbook comes with a funky cartoon picture on the lid of the netbook. The Rilakkuma netbook will cost you $865 in Japan. If you ask us, it is a pretty expensive netbook for kids as even most of the modern netbooks cost less than half of it! Here are its specs:

• 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor
• 8.9-inch display with 1024×600 resolution
• WiFi
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB HDD
• Digital TV tuner

How can they charge so much just for a sticker? Call it fortunate or unfortunate, but it will retail only in Japan. Rilakkuma will be making just 500 of these netbooks. So, hurry up if you are interested
