Fashion and computing are generally strange bedfellows, and the average computer doesn't look so much designed as hewn from a conveniently sized chunk of nasty plastic. Today, though, we've found that rare exception to the rule: an unusual-looking computer designed by Vivienne Tam.

The HP Mini 1099ea Vivienne Tam doesn't look anything like your average netbook - we suspect its deep pink shell and floral back will be liked by some and hated by others - but inside it's a very capable little computer with an Atom processor, 1GB of memory, a 60GB hard disk and Windows XP installed. And today we've found it selling at a healthy £50 discount - click the jump for details.
