Hands-on with HP's upcoming stylish laptopsBy Staff, 22 January 2008
Are you tired of unimaginative black and gray laptops? We've spent some time with HP's new mainstream laptops for style-conscious users.

HP MTV notebooks Gallery »
HP MTV notebooks HP in partnership with MTV recently concluded a global art contest ("Take Action. Make Art.") for a limited edition run of notebooks, and the winning bids are the kind of colorful, fluorescent verve sorely lacking in the conservative world of notebooks. The first-place entry, "Asian Odyssey" from 20-year-old Joao Oliveira of Portugal, which merges traditional Asian imagery like a dragon and a Yin and Yang with modernist lines and shapes, was chosen from over 8,500 submissions from over 112 countries. The five different skinned notebooks are expected to be available sometime this spring and will be a welcome relief from the unimaginative black and gray notebooks we normally see. Release: April 2008. Price: $1500.
Pros: Innovative, stylish design
Cons: Will undoubtedly cost extra
