On today’s edition of Unboxing Live we give you a look at the HP Vivienne Tam Edition. Stay tuned.
Hey guys! Welcome to Unboxing Live, I'm Andru Edwards and this is the show that brings you vicarious thrills through opening new gear and today we’re going to give you a look at the HP Vivienne Tam Edition. And if you're unfamiliar, this is actually an HP Mini that is suited for women. So, Vivienne Tam, a fashion designer, actually designed the design that you'll see on this computer. And we’ll just jump right in and start opening it up. Actually, you can see at the box a little bit of a foreshadowing or prelude to the design that you're going to find on the computer itself. So, let me just open it up.
Alright, so the first thing we see here, HP Vivienne Tam and some quick setup instructions for the Vivienne Tam. Again this is an HP Mini but suited for women and there you can get a little–again, another preview, its red. So, grab the accessories and tell you what it comes with. There you have one half of the power adapter and there is your other half. So there's the power brick. Not too big because it’s a mini and doesn’t require a huge power supply. And the only other thing in here, this is the battery. So if I pulled that out, you can see a battery for the computer. I’ll just put that aside while we pull out the actual product here.
This computer runs Windows XP which is perfect for a little computer like this and there you have it. There's the Vivienne Tam Edition, HP Mini. There is that design that we were talking about. Again, HP worked with Vivienne Tam to create something that would be eye catching for the ladies out there. Put the battery in. There we go. Now, we’ll just open that up. Insert in the inside. So, as you can see, it’s a deep lush red if you will with the screen that pretty much goes to the edge of the bezel. It’s pretty minimalistic as far as the design goes on the inside. You just have the red and the gold lettering. Then you have the Vivienne Tam right there.
Another unique thing about this specific model of computer on the HP Mini is that you have the track pad here, and you have your mouse buttons actually on either side of the track pad which is something you may or may not like, we’re not sure. It’s all up to you. But there you can see just how small it is. How compact it is. They actually call it a clutch computer, I guess, because women like to clutch on to handbags. I've never done that before but those of you who are used to doing that kind of thing, maybe you could imagine carrying this around in a similar fashion.
Let me pull off the plastic just in case that’s getting in the way of getting an idea of what it looks like. So, again you get a–a computer actually weighs less than 2 and a half pounds and is just one inch thick and the design is actually eight colors. It’s a peony design with matching Vivienne Tam sleeve. You can pick this up from HP.com or the HP Shopping Store and its 699.99.
So that’s the computer and there is also a matching mouse. Actually before I get to the mouse, I just told you the price, 699.99 for the Vivienne Tam Edition, HP Mini. If for an extra hundred bucks, you can actually get a version that comes with the computer, a matching scarf, a matching tote bag. So, if you love this design, this peony design right here, you can go ahead and get that on a scarf and on a tote bag and rock the whole outfit, why not.
Now one of the hard to get items is going to be this. This is the wireless optical mouse, also Vivienne Tam Edition and it matches perfectly with the Vivienne Tam Edition Notebook. The problem with this is that it’s not sold in the United States. So we’ll actually be giving away a couple of the mice on Gear Live, stay tuned for that at the website. But let me just show you what this look like because they perfectly compliment the computer. So just to get that out of the packaging there, come on mouse, there we go. And they also throw in a couple of Dorsal Batteries as well, very nice enough. So, as you can see here, this is all the documentation on the mouse. There is a–just regulatory and safety information, there's not even anything you install off this disc. But here's the mouse. So, this mouse again is wireless. It’s an optical mouse. You just throw a couple of batteries in there and we could just put it right next to the Vivienne Tam Edition Notebook and you'll see they perfectly match each other and perfectly compliment each other.
So if you're all about the style and let’s admit, this computer is all about the style. If you're about the style and you want a matching mouse which you probably do, there's the mouse that you want to have. Again, check out gearlive.com and find out about our give away contest but for now, there you have it, the HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition, the Vivienne Tam Edition mouse. And that’s it for this edition of Unboxing Live. Tune in next time for more vicarious thrills through opening new gear.
