We like netbooks because of their portability and yet they don’t undermine functionality, right folks? But then would it still be the same if a netbook’s screen is only less than 5-inches in size? I mean it’s a netbook yes because it runs on Windows OS and loaded with an Intel Atom 510 1.1GHz CPU.

But really, it’s so small even if you consider the chassis which goes for around 6.2 inches by 3.7 inches. And naturally it is light weight as well, standing at around 12-ounce.

This Kohjinsha netbook boasts of the following features:

• Intel Atom N510 1.1GHz processor
• 512MB RAM
• 16GB SSD
• 4.8-inch, 1,024×600-pixel resolution touch screen
• 802.11n and Bluetooth
• Mini-USB port
• MicroSD card reader
• Windows XP Home edition

It’s up for pre-order here and goes for a whooping price tag of $825.

There’s a new addition to the Kohjinsha range of netbooks – a 10.1 inch version which is a part of the Kohjinsha ”MT series” of netbooks, according the the Kohjinsha official website.

Specifications are nothing out of the ordinary with this netbook being packed with an Atom N270 processor and coming installed with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB HDD. There is also an added integrated TV tuner, a 1.3mp web cam and bluetooth installed on this unit and it comes with Windows XP Home Edition as it’s OS. Nothing too exciting but, with pricing of 49,800 Japanese Yen ($500 US), it could be a solid buy.

If you’re looking for a netbook which is not produced by any of the top brands which we often see coming into the U.S. market, the best place to look around is possibly Japan, well Taiwan as well.  But anyway, Akihabara News is reporting two separate netbooks which just surfaced in the Japanese PC market. These are the Averatec AVN0270NB from Trigem and the Kohjinsha ML6 netbook.

There’s nothing really fascinating about these netbooks that we should all be excited about. Both are your standard netbooks in their respective categories.

The Kohjinsha ML6 L16A netbook is an upgrade of the previously released ML6 netbook. It boasts of an 8.9-inch screen, Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz) CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, WiFi and all the standard netbook stuff. It will be available in 6 different colors namely, black, white, champagne, blue, pink and bordeaux. No word on the price of this netbook is available though.

Meanwhile, the Trigem AVN0270NB is a 10-inch netbook with Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel 945GMS chipset, WiFi and a 5 hour battery life. It will be sold in Japan for around 340 Euro.

So unless you live in Japan or have some contacts there, you’re only hope in getting this netbooks is to wait until Trigem and Kojinsha decides to release it internationally.

Japanese netbook company Kohjinsha and Bandai are joining forces to produce a limited edition netbook aimed at Japanese kids – the Gachapin and Mukku Netbook. Gachapin and Mukku are popular TV characters in Japan and the two companies are hoping to cash in on the popularity of the two cuddly creatures by creating a lime green netbook which is based on the Kohjinsha ML netbook series.

Specifications for this limited edition model include an 8.9 inch display, Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD and a TV tuner and it is priced at 79,900 Yen which is roughly $870 US and 20,000 Yen more than the Kohjinsha ML netbook – quite expensive for the same specs and a lot of brightly colored branding.  This one is definitely for the kids unless you have the need for a funky green netbook that is.
