When taking care of a laptop, people usually only think about taking care of the laptop itself. However, you also have to be able to take care of the laptop battery as well.

an exclusive sparkling white colour scheme for its laptops. Three existing Packard Bell laptops – Packard Bell EasyNote BG, Packard Bell EasyNote MB and Packard Bell EasyNote SB – will be available in sparkling white with intense colour highlights.

The new look was developed by Packard Bell’s Paris-based design studio to appeal to
design-conscious, tech chic notebook users. Based in the world’s fashion capital and under the leadership of design manager Adrien Camp, the Packard Bell Studio was inspired by the Peclers Trend Books. Published by Peclers Paris, a world-renown trendspotting agency, these books are used as creative “5-starters” by the fashion and design industries.

“Our research showed that white continues to be the colour of choice for ‘tech-chic’ buyers, but that they wanted to add a dash of personality using intense colour highlights. We’re seeing similar colour combinations on fashion show runways around the world,”

says Adrien Camp, design manager, Packard Bell.

“We picked lime green, sunny orange and dark chocolate as the highlights – three of this season’s hottest colours. And the white is no ordinary white: its sparkle gives it a striking visual texture.”

design are just as important as performance and features when choosing a laptop.
