Eye-catching HP notebook

Erica Ogg | Jan 07, 2008

This is the coolest looking notebook I've seen in a long time. Which is why I walked half-way across the ballroom at Sunday night's Digital Experience media event to check it out.

The design, called "Asian Odyssey", is splashed across the top of a Hewlett-Packard 14-inch dv2800 series notebook. HP's got the design thing down of late, so seeing design like this from them wasn't too surprising.

The designer was more of a surprise, however: Joao Oliveira, a 21-year-old design student from Porto, Portugal. Oliveira submitted his "Asian Odyssey" art concept--he's quite enamored of all aspects of Asian culture, he told me--after his friends heard about the contest HP was holding to imprint a laptop with a user's original design. His reward was a notebook PC with his limited-edition design and a trip out here to experience all of the craziness that is CES firsthand (lucky him!).
