There's been a serious dearth of Hello Kitty-branded products these days, but the dry-spell is thankfully at an end, with the arrival of the Hello Kitty C1. The crazy cat's apparently first-ever netbook is (as you can see in the photo) quite a looker, and it's packing a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, a 945 GSE Express chipset and a 120GB hard drive. The 10.1-inch netbook's also got two USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and WiFi. It's going to cost you 890 smackers to make this yours, but the sassiness alone kind of makes it worth it, doesn't it?

Oh no! I better set this link on my routers block list so my sister dosen't see it (she wants a notebook but im trying to convince her to get a proper laptop as its for use as her full time PC, even though she currently has a 2GB RAM, C2D PC she can play TF2 and such on).
Your sister plays tf2? No way!
@Mmaster23:
...And would browse Engadget?
*takes out closed white envelope*
Says, "Koolaid."
*opens the letter*
...and the letter says, "The beverage iEye could slip a roofster and manage score tonight."
Zing!
Oh..M..massive G
Who buys this sh*t?
ItZ So0w CUtEeeEE (*^_^*) (*^_^*) (*^_^*)
:/
You forgot to add a bunch of tildes~~~
Well, I could certainly be WORSE... mmmmph- nope, I can't keep a straight face. Although it's pretty cute regardless.
And let's face it, this is what Netbooks should be: Twee, emblazoned with well-known characters, and apparently aimed at the 8-to-12 year old girls demographic.
or emo guys, you cant forget about those
Ehh, they could make blodified versions for emo guys.
All they need to do for the Emos is put "My life is sorrow" on the front and include black eyeliner.
I'm waiting for the Anpanman version.
but i thought apple already made notebooks for young girls and emo guys...
excellent that's one present sorted on my Xmas shopping list
What the hell is "Hello Kitty" supposed to be anyway? Was it ever an actual cartoon or something like that or is it just a product of some salesman's imagination who thought inventing Hello Kitty would help him sell his **** to girls?
Cartoons, video games, and products. Its been around since the mid 70's making money in japan and in the US.
don't forget she lives in London with her parents and twin sister who loves to bake cookies.
How do you know that? You're one of them!
im going to make up my on company called "hi there cat"
Whoah! Thats a whole lot of pussy...cat in one package
Oh man, my friend's daughter would go crazy over this.
I rather buy a cat and lower price netbook altogether instead of this "cute" little thing.
ha funny
No more netbooks.......no more netbooks........no more netbooks........no more netbooks........no more netbooks..............
Yawn, another netbo... zzz... zzz...
Super kawaii! Desu desu!
Ugh... kill me now.
It's an old idea just now starting to become commercially available.
I modded a pink Eee for my daughter back in January (http://www.ashleyit.com/blogs/brentashley/eee-kitty.jpg) and blogged about it here:

Normally I'd down rank you for spam, but that is actually a pretty good Hello Kitty mod, and this is a Hello Kitty netbook article, so you get a thumbs up.
Good job.
I think this one is nicer, though: I like the subtle colouring with just the bow to make it obvious... pretty tasteful.
Luckily, it has an HD (ugh) and Windows XP so I am protected from temptation :) I've been kind of thinking about a netbook... hoping the ARM ones actually will come out next year with better battery life etc... and Hello Kitty branding. :)
Netbooks with the same specs are selling for $500. That makes the Hello Kitty markup $390.
HOW YOU LIKE THEM, APPLE?
The only thing this proves is: pussy cat > Apple tax
A girlfriend once worked
At that Hello Kitty store
Too much fucking cat
this hello kitty stuff has gone too far
