[ThoughtsMedia]

It depends on where you are in the world - check with HP in your country.

Aw man...that design is being applied to Vivienne's clothing line as well...I guess I'm just NOT part of the demographic to which women who sport it will appeal to =\. I certainly do love the double-happiness symbols on the 'enter' key, as well as the gold overlay on the keys.

[ThoughtsMedia]

Actually, the netbook was designed to match her clothing line. :-)

Just not my thing, no big deal :P.

It's HOT, like Ms. Tam.

Seriously, it looks like a little purse, but it's a well powered netbook. Good job.

They should've included a custom XP theme though, I'm really surprised how short sighted companies, and many designers, are.

Take the extra steps, spend the extra time. That's why APPLE has been making that "emotional connection" for years now.

[ThoughtsMedia]

Exactly! That's what I said to them - I asked why they didn't create a custom XP theme to match the colours of the notebook, and they had no answer for me. I agree 100% that it would have been the final beautiful finishing touch that would have made it a complete package. To come so far with a great design and not go all the way with the software is a bit disappointing.

They might have one for download somday soon, if enough people ask for it. Or if you know someone who can mod things they may be able to change things a bit.

You can use programs like WindowBlinds to create custom XP themes.
