hp mini by tord boontje

i’m a huge tord boontje fan. huge. so when d*s reader sandie sent me a link to the new hp mini computer (and website) designed by tord i practically squealed with delight. not only is tord’s design for the website perfectly dreamy and romantic, but the computer itself is pretty darn adorable. i feel like tord’s work is the perfect antidote to city life- it always takes me away to some magical forest where animals leap through the air and the sky is constantly full of dancing slowflakes. ah, to be in that world today and not overcast brooklyn. click here to view the full website the computer information. thanks, sandie!

ps: the animal-spotting game on the site is a fun time-waster. try the night vision goggle when looking for hidden animals in tord’s work…

Rachel said: September 16th, 2009 - 11:40 am	That’s so nice. I’ve been thinking about getting a mini laptop – I’m getting an imac for designing and general powerful stuff but it would be nice to have a lil laptop purely for internet and portability purposes. And this is pretty. When is it out in UK? Anyone know?

michelle said: September 16th, 2009 - 12:24 pm	wish he was working with mac not hp as i am in the market for a new laptop and wanted a mac book….. love love love his work though! i have a paper light that was given as a gift of his design with beautiful hanging flowers….so unique!

Amanda Wright said: September 16th, 2009 - 1:42 pm	That sure is a pretty computer. But, I’ll be a mac girl ’til the day I die. : )

They are made with the worst of all components and he says that usually they last about 1 year. He fixes more of those than anything else. You got lucky with a good one!

grace said: September 16th, 2009 - 6:47 pm	moriah weird- my family has had them for a long time and never had an issues. ironically the only computers i’ve had problems with were macs, although i now have one of those, too. the best computer i ever had was a 6 year old toshiba, that thing just couldn’t be stopped. g

Kerry said: September 16th, 2009 - 9:49 pm	I guess it must only be available outside the US because it is not available on the US HP website???

B. said: September 16th, 2009 - 11:40 pm	I worked for HP until last month and was dying for this lovely Mini to come out! Here’s how to get one, from the press release: “Customers can reserve the HP Mini 110 by Studio Tord Boontje … by visiting http://www.hpdirect.com/go/newfromhp. The HP Mini 110 by Studio Tord Boontje with Windows 7 Starter is priced at $399 and is expected to be available Oct. 18. “

shannon said: September 18th, 2009 - 5:41 pm	this is amazing, tord is my fav designer. I would love to have a little mini laptop. Right now have a hand-me-down beast of an hp, proven indestructible after running night and day for over a month.

mary jo said: September 19th, 2009 - 1:21 am	thanks so much for this mention, tord is one of my all-time favorites and i’ve already downloaded a bunch of different colors–now to decide which one!
