30 years back, you could never find the two words, “technology” and “fashion” appearing in the same sentence. Technology was supposed to be very straight forward, always function over form, beige box, black screen, black keyboard.

Engineers were hired, but not designers or artists. It was the dark ages. And someone like haze would say “It hurts my eyes…”

Fast forward to current time, technology and fashion now goes hand in hand. No longer are laptops coming only in the old boring black rectangular form. Aesthetics has found a home in modern technology.

Lenovo ideapad S10-2

Take for example this netbook from Lenovo, the ideapad S10-2 actually comes with four different designs. Since this is something that is small enough to be brought to everywhere, it really doesn’t hurt at all to be looking good.

Also, the PR lady who is handling Lenovo, Radiance Leong, told me to write something about her. She is like, awesome and all, go to her blog to read about her ramblings.

I digressed…

I think I wouldn’t mind having a netbook for traveling at all. The blue one kinda looks neat.

    I like the ideapad, looks cool. Of course tech can be fashionable, HP just recently paired with Vivienne Tam for a designer notebook – looks uber cool.

    Beige boxes? Try tape spools (not cartridges), hard disks the size of wedding cakes, keyboards that work like typewriters with no monitors and the option of spray painting your mainframe the colour that you like (offered by IBM, apparently, since you paid so much for it, they should at least allow you to pick a colour like a car).
