Rilakkuma Netbook: Bear-y cute?

Being incredibly hungover can sometimes mean you're still hammered from the night before. Add a Netbook with a picture of a cheery mammal on it, and you really begin to ask yourself: Am I still dreaming?

But we're almost certainly not. The Netbook you see before you is from Japan (where else?) and is manufactured by Bandai Namco. It's a Netbook with the usual specs, bar one. See if you can spot it:

• Atom CPU
• 1GB of RAM
• Windows XP
• Bear on the chassis

Yes that's right: There's a bear on the chassis. Specifically, it's Rilakkuma--a brown beast from some Japanese picture books. Wikipedia tells us his interests include relaxing, eating dumplings and, more recently, appearing on consumer electronics.

The limited-edition US$830 Netbook also comes with a yellow carrying case, and Rilakkuma wallpapers, games, and features. Thanks to Tokyo Mango for spotting this laptop's existence in the first place.
