Japan’s Dospara is offering a limited edition netbook called the Prime Note Cartina UM, which seems to have all the standard specs you’d expect in a 39,980 yen ($415US) netbook:
- CPU: 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
- Display: 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
- Storage: 120GB HDD
- RAM: 1GB
- Operating System: Linux, with Windows XP driver disk
- Webcam: 1.3MP
- Connectivity/Expansion: 3-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g WiFi
- Dimensions: 250mm x 183mm x 28.5mm or about 9.8″ x 7.2″ x 1.1″
- Weight: 1.1kg or about 2.4 pounds
DosPara only has 30 units in stock and is calling the Prime Note Cartina UM a limited edition netbook. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it pop up elsewhere under a different name. It’s not really worth an ODM’s time and money to produce just 30 units, or even just 3,000 units of any netbook.
