With a few days before the official release of Windows 7, netbook makers who were not able to come up with new netbooks that would run the OS are doing the quickest way to join the Windows 7 bandwagon, by upgrading their current netbooks and preloading them with Windows 7 with Windows 7.

As a review, the Onkyo/Sotec C405 is loaded with Intel Atom N280, 1GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, 10.1-inch display and WiFi. While the C205A3 comes with Intel Atom N270, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of HDD and WiFi.

Both Onkyo/Sotec netbooks are available now in Japan.

Remember the Sotec C101 Netbook from Onkyo which was upgraded with the netbooks DC101WP  and DC101BP ? If we remember it correctly the only difference between the C101 and the DC101WP and DC101BP are the colors and nothing on their specs and features.

Now here comes Onkyo again releasing a new Sotec Netbook, the C103, which actually has the same features as the C101. And the only difference? You guessed it right – the colors which are black and silver.

The Sotec C103 has the following specs:

• Intel Atom N270 CPU
• 1GB of RAM
• Intel 945GSE Express chipset
• 10.1-inch WSVGA LCD
• 160GB HDD
• Wi-Fi BGN
• 5-hour battery life.

Sotec, the netbook maker who brought us the Hello Kitty Netbook not so long ago has upgraded their other netbook the C101 with a new netbook model – the Sotec (Onkyo) C102.

Although these three netbooks are almost similar in features and specs, except for the Hello Kitty Design of the C101K3W, the C102 also features WiFi N with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Draft 2.0. The netbook is also available in Platinum silver and Rich Black.
