HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition Review and Specs
A few days back, the Laptop Pimp took a look at the HP Mini 1000 and he was pretty interested in the little netbook from HP. But, will the Vivienne Tam Edition of the Mini 1000 make the cut? Let’s find out.
When it comes down to Specs, you are looking at the exact same computer as the normal Mini 100. The $150 price difference between the two machines is a matter of the case. This makes sense, seeing that Tam is a fashion designer, and this edition of the Mini has a beautiful red case with a flower detail.
But the Pimp wants to know something. Do people buy it? Is a case worth $150?
I mean, the Mini is a slick looking computer to begin with, and the red case is wonderful. But I’m not sure it’s worth the cash. If you are spending money on a netbook, you want a simple computer at a good price. The HP Mini’s $400 price point is perfect, offering a great XP-based system for a price far lower than a number of other netbooks.
But, the Tam edition just adds cost for a product you want to be inexpensive to begin with. Special edition designs have a better market as true laptops, in my opinion.
Just leave the pimping to us. You don’t need to do it yourself HP.

The external design of the Vivienne Tam Edition netbook is really cool.. but the internal components are the same as the normal Mini 1000. I think not many people is willing to spend extra $150 just for the design, unless it’s for collection, or may be as a special event gift
