Hello Kitty and NEC’s Pink Laptop

Hello Kitty has teamed up with Barbie.

Why shouldn’t the little critter go hi-tech as well?

That’s what NEC is apparently thinking.

Hello Kitty in glittering crystal is decorating NEC’s new pink laptop.

And NEC is hoping women will be attracted enough to throw 199,500 ($1,650) into their kitty.

Sanrio and NEC used 299 Swarovski crystals in the design.

Japanese will receive their summer bonuses before long, and NEC is hoping several hundred women will scarf up the new product.

One big disadvantage – the PC comes with the Windows Vista Operating system.

What does a cat need with a 100 gigabyte hard disk and 1 gigabyte memory?

NEC hopes young women and parents with a lot of money to spend on their little girls can tell them.

Would you buy a pink laptop with a Hello Kitty on it?
