HP Laptops Designed For Women!
June 25, 2009
We’ve heard of laptops for web-browsing, emailing, video-chatting, gaming, watching movies, helping with designing and lots more. However, this is the first time that we are hearing of laptops that do girly-stuff like help with make-up, work-outs, watching the kids, air freshening and more. Creative and innovative we can say! These special laptops for women from HP, are a result of creativity combined with the ‘thinking out of the box’ of industrial designer, Nikita Buyanov.
The first in the list is the HP Eco Laptop. Its green case is indicative of its eco-friendliness. Solar chargeable cells have been used for powering up this mobile computer. Women can as well use it in supermarkets for reading bar codes. A bracelet for controlling pulse and blood pressure accompanies this laptop.
HP Fitness is the next unique kind of laptop. It is supposed to encourage women to work out regularly to stay fit. An integrated weighing machine helps keep weight under check, while a bracelet keeps a record of the work-outs.
Next in line is the HP Mama and as the name suggests, it is designed for the mamas out there who need to keep an eye on their kids while also executing their other tasks. There are 2 Bluetooth cameras with amplifying ability which the mothers can use to track the kids. This rough and tough mobile PC is both unbreakable and water resistant. There is a bracelet that comes with this laptop too. However, it does not seem to have the work out recording ability.
The HP Chameleon laptop is another innovative looking portable computer. As the name suggests, it changes its looks based on the surrounding. This, it does with the help of 3 cameras and adaptive microcells.
The ultra-mobile HP Nobag is a one of a kind laptop, which has an OLED screen and touch sensors.
HP Perfume Laptop has a transparent design and glows like a light source. It can also double as a room freshener.
The last and ultimate one is the HP Make-up Laptop, which with its pink compact case looks like a make-up kit. There is a button which when presses makes the laptop’s screen reflective, like a mirror. There is as well a finger-nail printing feature.
Some of these HP Laptops for women are still in their conceptual stages. They will all feature Intel processors. Other details like specifications, pricing, and availability are still not known at this point of time.
