hip-e

Juniper Foo | Nov 03, 2004

A PC that wants to be an iMac? That's the hip-e, which Digital Lifestyle Group is positioning as the world's first lifestyle computer for teens. Although it'll be the poor parents coughing out the US$1,699 for this one-stop entertainment desktop with customizable keyboard designs--from fuzzy pink to leopard skin. What's actually cool are the speakers which can be removed and turned into a beatbox. But other than that, smart teens could rig up their own hip-e, Sim Lim Square-style, at half the cost, leopard skin paintwork included.
