Epson Japan Announces Pair of Endeavor NJ2150 Hello Kitty Notebooks [Epson Hopes Cute Will Boost Sales]

Sanrio’s Hello Kitty can be found just about everywhere. It’s on cell phones, MP3 players, backpacks, underwear…you get the picture. Well, now there is yet another reason for teenage girls in Japan to go all crazy over this cute little critter. In an effort to help boost sales of its notebooks, Epson have announced the launch of two models of the Endeavor NJ2150 laptop dressed in pearly white and sporting the mug of Hello Kitty.

The latest Endeavor models will be available in two configurations. The standard comes with an Intel Celeron 900 processor at 2.2GHz, 1GB Ram and an 80GB HDD. For those girls with more high-end tastes, the upgraded model is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor at 2.53GHz, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB HDD. Both models feature a 15.4-inch screen, 5 USB 2.0 ports, a 3-in1- card reader, IEEE 1394/IEEE 802.11a/b/g/nWLAN and Windows Vista Home Premium.

As if having a Hello Kitty Epson laptop wasn’t enough, they have also loaded it with a bunch of Hello Kitty SWAG like screensavers and wallpaper. With all of that cuddly cute coating this thing it just might be dripping with sweetness when it arrives in Japan on July 17^th.

Unfortunately for us, the Epson Endeavor NJ2150 Hello Kitty version laptops are only available from Sanrio’s Japanese website and in a couple of Hello Kitty shops in Tokyo. The base model retails for $1,350 and the upgraded model for $1,650. If you absolutely must have one and you live outside of the Land of the Rising Sun, you can contact the www.JapanTrendShop.com or www.GeekStuff4U.com to see about getting one sent to you.
