Barbie laptops deploy American cute off the coast of Korea

The smart folks at Samsung know that, despite whiz-bang new technology, classics always win, so they recently unveiled the X170 Barbie Special Edition laptop. Available in pink or black, the girly laptop is specifically targeted at the female teenage Korean market.

Measuring just 25.4 millimeters thick and featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Windows 7 Home Premium, 4 gigabytes of RAM and a massive 500 gigabyte harddrive, the U.S.-icon-laden device is ready to cutify all of Asia. The Samsung's ode to American teenage glam will soon go on sale for 1,400,000 Korean won ($1,238) here.
