HP-MTV skin competition

Express yourself with a customised notebook design

As part of its drive to "make computers personal again", HP has teamed with MTV to promote a notebook PC design competition. Called "Take Action, Make Art", contestants are asked to create a graphic design for a notebook that relates to any subject they are passionate about -- whether it be fashion, music, the environment or world peace.

The winning design will be turned into a special edition of a 14-inch HP Pavilion notebook to be released in March 2008. Also, the winner will be invited to attend the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich this November, as well as travelling to Tokyo and Houston to be involved with HP's notebook design and development processes.

Four regional winners from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States will also win an HP notebook "skinned" with their design, and will have their entries made available to consumers around the world as adhesive notebook skins. Other designer skins can be viewed and purchased on www.hp.skinit.com.

If you don't want to submit an entry, you can still enter the sweepstakes for an HP Pavilion dv2000 Entertainment Series notebook by logging on to the competition site and voting for your favourite design.

The competition is open until October 17, 2007. Further information about the promotion, including how to submit entries and vote, can be found at www.mtv-tama.com.

    • Fujitsu LifeBook T1010

      Fujitsu LifeBook T1010

      The Fujitsu T1010 has tablet features and a somewhat striking price point, but the rest of the package feels a bit lifeless.

      While everyone scrambles for the latest low-spec netbook, the DV7 takes the opposite route, promoting itself as the ultimate entertainment notebook. It's almost right, too.

    • Asus Eee PC S101

      Asus Eee PC S101

      A premium netbook may sound like an oxymoron, but that is precisely what the Asus Eee PC S101 delivers with its stunning design and relative affordability.

    • HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx

      HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx

      The sleek design and good performance of the HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx makes it a solid contender, but don't plan on removing the power cord any time soon.

    • Asus F8Va

      Asus F8Va

      It may not be the sexiest notebook in town, but Asus' 14.1-inch laptop is Centrino 2 certified, and sports some excellent multimedia capabilities.
