DosPara has presented their latest Netbook powered by Linux, which is named Prime Note Catrina. The only problem is that the announcement is a bit strange, because this is a limited edition in which only 30 units will become available in Japan.

Anyhow, the small notebook boasts a 8.9-inch LCD screen with an Atom N270 processor, and only 1GB of memory RAM, with 120GB on the hard-drive to store a bit of data, because in nowadays 120GB isn’t much in terms of storage capacity on a laptop. The latest DosPara netbook weights 1.1Kg and WiFi is obviously included. Looking at the specs I guess people can only ask… why only 30 units for Japan?

DosPara is a rather famous store in the Akihabara area which is located in Tokyo, and they have recently added a new notebook to their big catalog. It is named Prime Note Cressida NC, and has a reasonable price of €630 which is close to $800.

Specification-wise, the Prime Note Cressida boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor running at 1.66GHz, and 2GB of memory RAM, plus an Intel 945GM express working on the graphics. The WXGA screen size is set 12.1-inches, and the hard-drive has 250GB of capacity.

Other features on the latest DosPara notebook include a DVD Multi, Wi-Fi, a memory card reader, and Windows XP Home Edition as the default Operative System.

The DosPara Prime SSD-RAID is probably one of the most expensive desktop computers you’ve seen in recent weeks, thanks to the $9,300 price tag and the use of a SSD-RAID system.

By using six units of an Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB SSD drive, the total storage capacity goes up to 480GB, and the reading speed hits the top at 1119.73MB/sec. On top of the high-speed read/write speeds, the (close to) $10,000 PC boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 at 3.16GHz, 4GB on the RAM memory, a normal SATA2 Hard-Drive with 80GB, and a NVidia GeForce 9600GT.
