4 Comments

Remember Vivienne Tam’s HP 1000 netbook edition? Turns out it now has a new “digital clutch” chic sequel, which recently showed up at New York’s Fashion Week catwalk show and said to be inspired by Chinese love story “Butterfly Lovers”. Thus, it’s all covered with light brown flavor and three beautiful butterflies, that according to Tam, “symbolize love, freedom, independence and transformation”, which are all suppose to be targeting modern women who admire the creation of “fashionable technology”. Regretfully HP hasn’t released any details about specs or pricing, until now, but with the clothing collection set to take off on Spring 2010, we seems to have plenty of time to bring’em on.

Taiwan's ARM-Based Mtube II Crams Both Android Tablet and XP Netbook In One Device

The idea of having both Android tablet and XP netbook, packed in one small portable device is lighting our imagination for quite some time, and when Taiwan’s Institute for Information Industry was recently introducing the Mtube II netbook / tablet hybrid machine at the Computex show, we knew we’re on the right direction with this one. The interesting combination of HP Mini 1000, coming with Windows XP flavor, and an Android tablet platform that can easily pulled out of the main body and serve as an independent touch unit, will probably reach the markets in a year or two, but at the meantime, having the ability to watch this wonder in action right here, right now, directly from our armchair is truly exciting, despite the poor processors that were integrated inside – VIA C7-M for the netbook and unspecified ARM processor with the Android tablet – and the screen, which is connected by VNC, providing a medicore video quality at most. Nonetheless, the technology for itself is pretty fascinating, so if you’d like to see this enlightening video for yourself hit the break and start dreaming.

4 Comments

If black exterior design becomes too dull and boring for you, HP has the right solution, as the company has launched a special Vivienne Tam Mini 1000 Netbook edition, to be available in December for a starting price of $699.The new limited version packs a 10-inch display, together with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB SSD or 60GB HDD and of course, a lavish flowery reddish decoration that covers the ultra portable computer, from top to toe. Bottom line, looks interesting but cost a fortune.

Update: meanwhile, in a perfect holidays timing, HP has announced a $40 price cut, on all regular Mini 1000 models, starting at $359.99 for the basic 10-inch version with Atom N270 processor, 8GB SSD and a 3-cell battery. Do the math which one is preferable.
