Vivienne Tam packs paint on HP netbook

'Butterfly lover' case design, ladies?

HP has paraded its latest laptop with a case coloured by fashion designer Vivienne Tam.

In addition to the "butterfly lovers" case design, the Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition sports a slightly better spec than the regular Mini 210: an extra gig of Ram and a larger hard drive.

HP's Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition: souped up spec...

Specs wise, you're looking at a 10.1in, 1024 x 600 display, 1.66GHz Atom N450 processor, 2GB of DDR 2 memory, 320GB hard drive, 802.11n and the usual netbook port array: VGA, USB 2.0 times three and 10/100Mb/s Ethernet.

Clearly aimed at fashionistas, the Mini 210 VTE's webcam can be used by a special mirror app so ladies can adjust their make-up before they lunch.

The HP Mini 210 VTE goes on sale later this month. There's no UK price yet, but in the US it will retail for $599 (£397). ®
