Here’s a cool gift to that Astro Boy fan in your family. An Astro Boy-branded netbook. It is only available in Taiwan, but I am sure there are online stores that will be willing to ship it to you if you are willing to pay the price of $900 exclusive of shipping charges. It is one expensive netbook, but it does come with an external optical drive, external hard drive, thumb drive, external speakers, carrying case, and your very own certificate of authenticity. The 10.1 “netbook and its accessories are all branded with the silhouette of the boy robot garbed in a rubberized black exterior. It would have been cooler if they used the red color of Astro-boy’s boots. I still feel that it is too pricey with what is essentially a netbook with a picture on its cover, which you can easily recreate with a custom-made skin that you can order from companies that sell them.
