Second Gen Vivienne Tam Netbook - No Pink But Still Attractive

The second generation of Vivienne Tam netbook is here! Instead of pink peonies, the netbook is designed with a huge butterfly with golden brown background. No pink, but still appealing to women who are high on fashion.


"The new digital clutch design embodies the inspiration for my entire spring collection," said Tam. "When women around the globe carry HP’s digital clutch and wear my clothes, I want them to feel independent and free, like butterflies."

The default components of this netbook will be a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor (N270), 1GB of RAM, 60GBs of hard drive storage, the Windows XP Home operating system, and a three-cell battery.

The Second Gen Vivienne Tam netbook should hit the streets in next Spring. More photos of this netbook is available on Chip Chick.

HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition Reviewed

The Vivienne Tam edition of HP Mini netbook is reviewed. The folks over at Chip Chick has got their hands on this stylish little netbook and published a great review together with several hands-on photos to let you have a closer look at the lovely netbook.


Overall, they are pretty impressed with the hot pink / fuschia coloring plus the
lovely peony design on the netbook lid, the comfortable keyboard design, and the great system performance. The only few drawbacks for this netbook is the webcam (too dark), the uncomfortable trackpad layout, and the price which is higher than average netbook.

Here's the conclusion of the review:

"Overall, we are quite taken with the HP VT edition. It’s a beauty to behold and luckily, its looks aren’t superficial since it also performs well. Granted the VT is no desktop replacement notebook by far, but
the good performance on the VT combined with its quality hardware make it a serious competitor in the Netbook marketplace. That said we do have a few minors gripes. Most notably is its underperforming webcam.

The VT Edition with a 60GB hard drive retails for $699 and includes 1 year accidental coverage as well as a 1 year warranty. Overall, the most challenging aspect ofthe VT is its $699 price tag, which makes it a highend, high cost netbook. Unfortunately, the same rule that applies in the fashion world, applies here - you’re gonna pay more for something that looks good - and hopefully makes you feel good too. Is it worth the $699 price tag? Any higher then that, and we’d say they were really pushing it. But if you can afford it, and looks are just important to you as substance, then the price tag wont bother you that much. Especially when you get oohs and ahhs from your friends while you sashes along with the VT edition under your arm. We’ll be taking the VT edition with us use to blog with at CES to and we look forward to spending more time with it, particularly to see how well the battery holds up. We’re sure well have even more to say after taking it to Vegas with us."
