Limited-edition netbook is just like every other netbook except that there are only 30 of them
CrunchGear —
... Here’s a netbook. It’s called the Prime Note Cartina UM and only 30 of them will be available in all of Japan. What’s so special about this netbook? Well, it’s got some sort of Linux operating system, an 8.9-inch screen, an Intel Atom 270 chip, 120GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, and it weighs 2.4 pounds. So basically, it’s the same as just about every other netbook ever released to date. Except there’s only 30 of them, which will presumably create a sky-high demand for the machine due to the limited supply, right? ...
DosPara intro’s the limited edition, not so special Prime Note Cartina netbook

... limited edition model I am not sure it will be missed elsewhere.
Feature-wise the Prime Note Cartina will include an 8.9-inch display, an Atom N270 processor, 120GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and will be running Linux. Oh, and it only weighs 2.4-pounds. Wait, what exactly makes this a limited edition, seems more like it should a limited supply. This netbook seems to be doing nothing more than cashing in on a popular trend.
