HP is offering another of those eye-catching but pricey designer editions of their Mini 1000 in the former of the Vivienne Tan Edition. We mentioned it early last month and now it is available to buy at the official HP website.

For an extra $300 on the usual HP Mini 1000 it isn’t cheap, but its undeniably great eye candy with a unique flowery design that spans across the entire model, including the case. This release is largely the same specs-wise as its more mundane counterpart with its Intel 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 10.2-inch screen, but comes with a 16GB solid state disk with a +$25 upgrade option for an extra 60GB.

You can also add an integrated 3G modem, with HP now officially offering this feature to buyers in the United States. Although very pricey compared to most broadband modems, such as the $125 one available for the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, it offers access to AT&T or Verizon’s wireless broadband networks.
