The HP spring collection has arrived at Amazon, bringing haute couture to high technology. Whether your closet is full of little black dresses or the hottest prints of the season, find the HP computer that’s the perfect accessory for you at home, at work, or on the go.

Leading this fashion-forward line is the HP Mini 210-1099SE Vivienne Tam Edition netbook. Unwrap the gift-box packaging to reveal this season’s must-have! The champagne gold-colored digital clutch gets its look from the Butterfly Lovers theme of Vivienne Tam’s Spring 2010 Runway Collection. Weighing only 2.69 pounds, it’s ultra-portable and easy to carry in the matching microfiber sleeve included in the box. Customize your desktop with exclusive wallpapers that bring the Butterfly Lovers design onto the display and check your makeup on-screen using the Compact Mirror software. Video chat using the integrated webcam, plus access your favorite websites fast using HP QuickWeb. You can also sync this netbook with your home or office computer using HP QuickSync, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. And every fashionista knows that accessories complete the look: coordinate your netbook with the HP Wireless Optical Mouse Vivienne Tam Edition.

 

If you’re looking for a laptop with a touchscreen, check out the HP TouchSmart tm2-1070us Notebook PC. It has a 12.1-inch diagonal widescreen display that you can touch, twist and fold flat.
