The best of Fashion Laptops

Graphic designer and tech blogger Tierra loves exploring the intersection of fashion and technology...from laptops to mobile to the latest gotta-have gadget, she's your girl.

Fashion is all about personality, flavor, and style from head to toe…and that includes your laptop! The concept of fashionable technology is not new, but today some companies are putting out some great designs that are becoming harder to ignore. My three favorite fashion laptops are by Ego Lifestyle, HP, and Lenovo.

Ego Lifestyle’s new laptop collection entitled Ego for Bentley includes elegant, car-inspired pieces made for glamorous gigabytes. Even the handle of this laptop and the doors that cover access ports are luxurious. The color options match Bentley’s exterior paints and the outside is trimmed with Bentley leather and crossed over with hand stitching just like the inside of a Bentley. Winner of the Microsoft Fashion PC Award, you can bet the inside is just as lovely as the outside.

Lenovo also has great fashion laptops with it’s U Series offerings. Their tagline, “beautiful technology”, doesn’t describe the funkiness of these fashionable laptops. The new IdeaPad U Series blends design and technology while winning best-of-show honors for notebooks at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Some highlights of the series include high gloss colors, a “Frameless Screen” that extends all the way to the edge (kind of like those infinity swimming pools), hidden multimedia buttons across the top of the keyboard, and a thin design.

My absolute favorite is HP’s new Pavilion Artist Edition Notebook PC’s are really cool especially if you appreciate art. Each design is inspired by images, travel stories, or lifestyles. My favorite is Asian Odyssey. The design was inspired from the HP-MTV “Take Action.Make Art” global notebook design competition in 2007. A 20 year old, Joao Oliveria of Portugal won the competition with this amazing design that features oriental influences.

So the next time you head to the nearest Best Buy never forget that technology is a part of your overall fashion statement.

Happy Shopping!
