HP's Mini-Note gets a Vivienne Tam makeover

Think your netbook is hot? Check out HP's Mini-Note all dolled up in Vivienne Tam. The HP Digital Clutch was spotted on the runway during New York's Fashion Week earlier this week, and since we missed the event, here's a link to a few more photos of the red hot netbook courtesy of Laptop Magazine.

The design was inspired by Vivienne Tam's "China Chic" style, and features peony flowers over a bright red paint job that covers the Mini-Note inside and out. Why peonies? Hollywood Scoop says Tam's spring collection paid homage to Yves Saint Laurent with tailored suits and peonies, which according to Ms. Tam, are loved by every woman.

To show how stylish the netbooks really are, some of Vivienne's models traded in their evening bag for the fashionable digital clutch, which probably drew a lot of oohs and aaahs as they walked the runway.

As you know, HP dropped the price on its Mini-Note last month for a back to school promotion, but don't expect the same discount for this limited edition netbook which will be out early next year.
