Gurgaon, By collaborating with this world-renowned series, HP extends its relationship with fashion trendsetters, inspiring people worldwide with its stylish computers.

HP has been at the forefront of fusing fashion and technology since unveiling the HP Mini Vivienne Tam notebook on the catwalk of Tams 2008 fashion show at New Yorks Fashion Week in Bryant Park. The introduction of the worlds first digital clutch ignited global fashion-forward efforts for HP, which led to this collaboration with Sex and the City 2.

HP is increasingly recognized as a brand synonymous with breakthrough style and design, said Dennis Mark, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP Asia Pacific & Japan. As a trend-setting phenomenon, Sex and the City 2 is a natural extension to celebrate fashion and our stylish spring 2010 collection of computers with people worldwide.

The films lead actress and one of its producers, Sarah Jessica Parker, will be showcased as the achiever in the next global The Computer is Personal Again commercial from HP, which is part of the companys campaign to demonstrate how technology has become truly personal and relevant.

The commercial features Parker as herself - a sophisticated, energetic woman who uses an HP computer to manage the multifarious roles she is playing in life, from mother to designer to movie producer, with endless style.

Global campaign

Leading up to the highly anticipated film debut, HP will be hosting a series of global events to showcase their Spring Collection and celebrate tech couture with Sex and the City enthusiasts.

This includes a combination of the Computer Is Personal Again commercial; local pre-screenings of Sex and the City 2 and events in several markets across Asia Pacific.

Sex and the City 2 will also celebrate HPs spring collection of products which merge premium technology with style for women and fashion-savvy men, and will be seen in the film.

    2. HP TouchSmart PCs feature a sleek design that integrates a stunning high-definition widescreen display with a multitouch-enabled screen.
