    btw i've read somewhere last year a company based in london sell 1 million bucks laptop. it's said a combination of luxury and technology and laptop was in crest of diamonds and gold. only phone order no web order if my memory served me correct.

    u know how u make the most expensive car out there? doesn't even matter what model/brand it is. u can pick up some beat-up ford Taurus and equip it with diamonds all over the place, and it will be the most expensive car ever...oh, also add some gold or platinum rims, door knobs, some wood grain, etc...

    like paris hilton did with her nintendo ds, slap some fake diamonds and a kiss on case then sell it for $500 dollars, sure I'd buy it LOL
    Sorry for being off-topic


    Anyway, the laptop itself isn't bad on design from http://www.ego-lifestyle.com/ but it's very overpriced.

    Agree.

    Heh, but if you got the money why not? Even if it is a big, ugly, clunky, clamshell.

    If I were rich I would just get a topped out M1730.

    wow you can even get a matching ego bag with it! for a price that is.

    seriously though I actually quite like the "sliding door for hiding connectors" mechanism.

    Personally I like, "Play and create DVDs or CDs within seconds" that is a huge bonus when buying a laptop...I mean playing CDs is really cutting edge stuff

    I personally don't like the look of it at all.

    Looks like a gigantic purse. You wouldn't catch me carrying it around. :p

    Hilarious! The specs are bad, it's very ugly and it's oval-shaped (so you need an oval-shaped screen to efficiently use the space available =P )! It's also very heavy for a 12.1 inch notebook (2.5 kilos or 5.5 lbs)!

    People who buy this thing don't know anything about notebooks, just like the people who made this thing.

    naaah, it wouldn't. It will be reported stolen in less than a month. So no worries about it becoming obsolete whilte it is still theirs. :D

    Do you think there would be any insurance on these things?

    ok enough about the apple and $1 million dollar atrocity...in the realm of possibilities, i suppose the most expensive/good looking would be the high end notebooks from VooDooPC or Falcon Northwest...you can customize them in millions of colors. They range from 6000+ for good configurations.

    i wound agree with the voodoo part, cause i've played around with the configure, and the top i got to was 10,000, and it was a tight rig..but this? 5k to 350k?

    This is insane... its not like the hardware is superior/can last 10 years before outdated/no weight!?/Hugely advance... ahhh it just not worth in my opinion no matter how good it looks.

    Notebook are not just about their look, ok, at least for me. I have no need to attend some international or maybe high class meeting where i need to use a luxury notebook just to show how high class/good taste/rich i am.
