THat’s it? I pic of some chic’s butt? How bout some pics of the actual laptop?

If they’re selling the chick, I’m sold. But I’ve owned at least 2 HP laptops and they ALL suck. The processor overheats, Tech support is minimal and the tier 2 CS are numbskulls. Even with the extensive warranty, you are on the wrong side.

Info from the HP Press release Oct 29...2008:

***************************

The HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition comes in vibrant red with a peony-flower inspired design that reflects the globally acclaimed fashion designer’s Spring 2009 collection. It seeks to satisfy the highly mobile, Internet-centric fashionista and features a 10.2-inch diagonal BrightView display.

Its design was first unveiled on the runway of Tam’s Spring 2009 Fashion Week show in Bryant Park in New York, although many on the scene mistook it for a purse rather than the companion PC that it is. Tam labeled it the world’s first “digital clutch.”

The Vivienne Tam Edition companion PC runs Windows XP Home, making the web,⁽³⁾ critical files and PC applications easily portable. It includes an Ethernet jack, two USB ports, and Wi-Fi⁽⁴⁾ and Bluetooth wireless capabilities. Versions with 3G capabilities⁽³⁾ are expected to be available in December.

• The HP Mini 1000 with MIE (Mobile Internet Experience) is a uniquely simple, mobile Internet companion.⁽³⁾ An HP-developed interface makes it easy to enjoy digital content – videos, photos, music and email – on demand and on the go. MIE comes loaded with instant messaging, email and Skype for online video chat, making it easy to enjoy social-media experiences anywhere consumers are connected.
  
  Applications enabling browsing, email and online video are pre-loaded and run from the MIE dashboard, minimizing startup time. Favorite websites that are added to the dashboard stay live, and the taskbar makes it easy to switch between programs.
