HP and Asian fashion designer Vivienne Tam have teamed up to make this gleaming red, peony covered HP mini note. Stylish and super portable it was debuted on the runways of New York Fashion Week at Bryan Park.

The “digital clutch” has a 10″ inch screen which is pretty impressive and features an extra special enter key that bears the Chineses symbol for double happiness - aarrr. It also comes with an embroidered storage sleeve which protects it when being carried.

This is the first time a high end designer and technology company have joined forces to produce a laptop like this. It does seem to be a good bit of fashion and technology fusion and in line with Tam’s personal mantra “Live well and be beautiful”.

Following on from my weekly gadget girl slot on the radio (www.rem.fm) here are the details of the latest gadget we talked about.

The Asus EEE PC 901 is an ideal ultra portable laptop offering portability, power and style. It is lightweight, has a decent battery life of over 7 hours and small dimensions so will fit easily into most handbags - all of mine it’s fair to say as they are mahoosive!!

Dear Girl Geek…

Hi,

I was just wondering if you had an idea of a laptop that I should have for my ‘A’ levels. I started the courses today but as I am taking Applied ICT I need a laptop that will be able to operate Dreamweaver. I think I should get a Mac as my uncle who is a male computer geek says that they are indestructable internally. What’s your opinion?

Thanks again,

Eleanor
