HP pony laptops - SORRY, confirmed to be fake!

[LadyMoondancer]

Sorry folks, turns out it was a hoax!  Weep with me! 







Apparently Hewlett-Packard is uploading MLP themed laptop mock-ups (just Photoshops at this point) of MLP FIM themed laptops.  AMAZING.  Well, I was thinking of replacing my laptop in a year or two anyway, so this is timely.

Awesome!

"My Little HP" is the result of a partnership between HP and Hasbro that wants to provide families with an affordable and intuitive machine. Fun learning programs custom built by HP and Hasbro studios to help children learn how to read, write, and count with the help of their favorite characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and yet still remain a functioning laptop for parents.

That is significantly awesome!

For what it's worth, it's confirmed to be a fake. Sorry, everyone who got their hopes up.

[StoryDreamer]

Yeah, I just saw on their Facebook its fake. Why would somebody fake that huge profile on dA?

[LadyMoondancer]

Awwww, what a disappiontment!      I'll modify the first post with this sad news.

[StarLite]

I'm actually glad it's fake. Once I saw it on Equestria Daily, I realized I could never afford to buy all those laptops!

[DoctorMowinckel]

You can still get custom skins for your notebooks. I'm sure it'd be cheaper than buying anything straight from the manufacturer.

[ZettaMomo]

Their entire dA is so much work for being fake. It is rather surprising!

[Juri]

I was sad it was a troll, though you never know, now that people have seen the interest we might see custom cases / laptop skins soon

[stopxmotion]

I believe some people have way too much time on their hands. I could use a bit of it!
That actually seemed pretty cool too.

[SDstang]

that would be so cool if it was real.  one thing is you can make a custom skin to put on your computer that looks just like that, and then you don't have to buy a new laptop.

[SuniMoon]

Oh well, no biggie anywho.... HP laptops are kind of horrible anyway. xD
But a cute idea, lap top skins like this would be great.

That totally makes me want to decorate my laptop cover.
