May 5, 2010 – Burnaby, B.C. – Best Buy Canada and HP announce the retail launch of the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition netbook. The hot new “Butterfly Lovers” digital clutch is the second edition digital clutch designed by Vivienne Tam, offering exclusive integrated software to keep you in touch with your world in new ways. Making a high fashion statement inside and out, the HP Mini 210 is a feather-like style accessory that web-connects in seconds, all in a slim, simple and sleek design.

Product Details:

The HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition is the ideal companion PC for the highly mobile, Internet-centric fashionista, providing freedom and fun with up to 5.5 hours of battery time and a built-in web cam that transforms into a digital “compact mirror” with a click of a button on the brilliant 10.1” diagonal BrightView Infinity display wide-screen. The HP QuickWeb instant-on software lets you listen, browse, text and chat in seconds and has a keyboard that is 93 percent of the size of a standard notebook PC keyboard.
Partnering with Beats™ by Dr. Dre™, HP has included high-performance audio software that enables listeners to experience music – through headphones or external speakers – the way artists intended. Previously Beats Audio was available only in the premium HP Envy notebook PC line.

Design Inspiration:

Reflecting Tam’s spring 2010 collection, the netbook design is inspired by the classic Chinese love story, “Butterfly Lovers,” a beautiful tale of freedom, romance and inspiration. Integrated directly into the netbook’s lid using HP Imprint technology, the design is as durable as it is stunning.
The HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition also comes with a Butterfly Lovers desktop theme that includes an animated butterfly start menu, custom Vivienne Tam icons and three wallpapers to coordinate with the design.

This special edition companion PC is available now in Best Buy stores and online at BestBuy.ca for $599.99 and comes with the design-matching protective sleeve. For a limited time your purchase at Best Buy stores also includes a matching Vivienne Tam mouse.
