September 16, 2008 - Just because we’re Pretty Tough doesn’t mean we can’t also be Pretty Smart. For those of us whose laptop is the ultimate accessory, HP has announced that they’ve teamed with world-renowned designer Vivienne Tam to create a special edition notebook.
Vivienne Tam and HP unveiled the design of the new must-have digital clutch on the catwalk last week at Tam’s fashion show during New York’s Fashion Week. U.S. Open champion Serena Williams was spotted in the front row and we’d love to know what she thought!
The HP Vivienne Tam Special Edition notebook represents the first time a computer company has partnered with a globally renowned designer to create a notebook PC that offers all the style and power needed for a delightful technology experience. Tam also worked with HP to design the notebook’s accessories and packaging.
Specially designed for women on the go (that would be us) the computer is gleaming red and bursting with pink and purple peony flowers. Tam explains that she chose peonies because they are the most beautiful flowers and have many layers of unfolding blossoms — much like the layers of a busy woman’s life.
First, it was Panasonic touting a computer that was “Pretty Tough” but we think this one fits the bill even better. I’d put in on my Christmas list but it won’t be available until Spring 2009.









Wow. I’m a computer geek but even if I wasn’t, I’d still be amazed with this. Gorgeous.
