Style these days does not only pertain to clothes, accessories or even for that matter, mobile phones. Now acclaimed designer Vivienne Tam has joined forces with HP to unleash the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition netbook. The offering has already made it to the runway at the New York Fashion Week as an integral part of Tam’s spring 2010 collection.
The netbook seamlessly merges the ‘Butterfly Lovers’ design fashioned by Tam with premium PC technology.

With these slim stats, fashion enthusiasts can easily slip the netbooks into their bags or purses.
HP has also teamed up with Beats by Dr. Dre to provide high-performance audio software and hence offers its customers a great way to experience all their favorite music. They can either groove to the music emitting from the external speakers or through their headphones. Beats Audio was earlier only espied in the premium HP Envy notebook PC line.
“As a fashion designer I have always found inspiration in bringing contrasting worlds together. I use computers in every aspect of my life so it seemed natural to marry fashion and technology. Together with HP, we created this movement of fashionable tech accessories with the second-edition digital clutch,†revealed Vivienne Tam.
The vibrant appearance exuberated by the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition is based on the classic Chinese love story called ‘Butterfly Lovers’.
