Remember the Sotec/Onkyo branded netbook called C101? Well Akihabara News is reporting that Onkyo has just updated the said netbook with the DC101WP  and DC101BP which signifies the new colors white crystal and rich black.

Aside from the color change, Onkyo has also upgraded the netbook’s battery with a 11.1V and 4.4Ah which simply means that the said netbook can max out up to 5 hours of good usage.

No major changes on the netbooks specs though. You’d still get the Atom N270 CPU, 1GB RAM and 160GB HDD.

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.
