HP is continuing their designer collaboration with the Vivienne Tam HP mini notebook, this piece featuring an all gold machine, with butterflies on the outer shell.  If you’re looking for a powerful machine that starts as many conversations as documents, then this is the mini notebook you should be gunning for.

One of the best features of the The Vivienne Tam mini is that it’s small enough to fit in a messenger bag or larger purse, and comes with a microfiber sleeve so you can keep your piece in pristine condition while carrying it with you.  It’s not just another mini notebook; it’s an accessory that will make a statement as you use it, the same as the way you’ve styled yourself that day.

Tech highlights:

• 5.5 hour battery life
• keyboard is 93% the size of a full size keyboard
• 10.1 inch widescreen
• notebook is 1 inch thin
• notebook weights 2.7 lbs
• notebook has 2G memory
• includes Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ audio software

It’s clear that HP is as concerned with creating a beautiful notebook as they are one with power, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. The piece retails for $599 CA, and will be available in just a few weeks.
