Vivienne Tam Netbook Plus Heart Earbuds Equals Love

GeekSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:30:25 -0800

I know I said that the Vivienne Tam HP Mini Netbook was a January Must Have, but I think it deserves to be a Valentine's Day must have as well. The color, the functionality, the fact that it fits in your purse (In. Your. Purse.) . . . I honestly can't get enough. And I'm feeling a little guilty since the mark up on this baby is over $300 dollars, but it's just so hard to say no to a gadget this beautiful.

So if you're lucky enough to get your hands on one, and looking for something to go along with your new netbook, check out these red Heart Earbuds for a more reasonable $12. These two are totally made for each other.

I've been there before: I wanted a certain gadget for Christmas, but due to financial constraints, availability, or just plain oversight, I did not find them in my stocking or under the tree come Christmas morning. It's gonna be OK. Take all that cash you've accumulated from your relatives, or just go ahead and splurge (you never know when prices will dip this low again) and get what you really wanted for Christmas. Check out my picks on gadgets you didn't get for Christmas, but should buy for yourself anyway in this slideshow. Source

HP Keeps the Netbook Train Moving With Two New Minis

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:33:12 -0700

Computers are totally fashionable, folks. Vivienne Tam impressed us all with her chic new HP digital clutch design at this year's Fashion Week, but HP couldn't get enough and debuted two more sleek and stylish Minis this week for you to drool over.

The HP Mini 110 (due out Sept. 23) has had a makeover by artist and designer Tord Boontje, and comes with 15 custom wallpapers, screensavers, and desktop themes all designed by Tord himself, while the Mini 311 ($329) has the classic swirls from the 10-inch Mini 1000 we all know and love, but in crisp, snowy white. The 311 got a screen and graphics boost as well, coming in with a HD 11.6 inch display and an upgraded NVIDIA ION graphics card.

Vivienne Tam and HP Collaborate on a Netbook Once Again

Vivienne Tam is starting a trend, and it goes beyond her amazing fashion designs. At last year's Fashion Week, Vivienne Tam unveiled a designer HP Mini 1000 that I instantly fell in love with, and at this weekend's Spring 2010 show, she did it again.

The newest designer netbook clutch comes in a feminine gold and butterfly finish, inspired by the Chinese story of the "Butterfly Lovers", which is a beautiful tale of freedom, romance and inspiration. Here's what she had to say about her new clutch and clothing collection:

"I’m excited to partner with HP again on a new design that truly embodies my inspiration for the new spring collection. When women around the globe carry HP’s digital clutch and wear my clothes, I want them to feel beautiful and confident."

As with other fashionable tech finds we've seen this week, there have been no pricing details released for Vivienne's netbook clutch, but we should expect to see it in stores next Spring.

To see more photos of the new netbook, just read more.
