If you're someone who grew up idolizing epic space fiction franchises and also happens to be something of a tech geek, the Star Wars notebook might just represent the holy grail of physical belongings to you.
HP knows that there are lots of Star Wars-loving geeks out there, which is why it is offering this special edition Star Wars notebook. This isn't the first Star Wars-themed consumer electronic offering ever but what's great about this notebook is that the Star Wars artwork is actually presented to an impressive degree of detail.
You have to give props to this notebook because it doesn't care two hoots about being dorky, which it is. In fact, its unabashed dorkiness is its strength -- this laptop is designed for people who love Star Wars and aren't afraid to wear their heart on their sleeve.
