This is a laptop from HP?

If we didn't know better, we might think that some of the marketing people at Hewlett-Packard had discovered some new recreational activities. It started off simple enough, with a mildly interesting design for a new Bluetooth mouse. Then the "Clay" laptop was a little weird, but we thought it just wasn't our taste.
But its latest offering is about as subtle as a Peter Max litho. The "HP Pavilion dv2800t Artist Edition" laptop bears the work of a Portuguese artist who won a global design competition held jointly by MTV and the traditionally staid computer maker, ChipChick says.
The specs of this 14.1-inch are fairly standard, but that's obviously not the selling point. What's probably just as important to potential buyers is that it comes with a matching messenger bag--because if you're drawn to a design like this, the last thing you want to do is hide it.

never mind
While it's still nice, and you feel "cool" and "special" with your new artistic HP Laptop, you won't feel all that cool and special the day you cross another person sitting at a Café with the exact same model and art design.
The market will eventually tell HP whether or not this is a wise move.
I don't particularly like the design either, but that's no reason to be rude.

- Apple can take a laptop, chuck out all the useful stuff (connectors, optical drive, battery life, etc) and everyone drools over it.
