Here's and idea that won't catch on, building something like a million dollar notebook. What is the purpose of such an investment, you don't just have to be brain dead to even consider such an artifact, but you should also be filthy rich, and did I mention brain dead?
Well Hollywood is the place where everybody who's anybody goes about living his or her life and not a lot of poor people live around those parts of the United States, that's for sure. And a trend has begun, namely that of incorporating diamonds or Swarovski crystals into whatever you might think of. I've seen anything from watches (which I believe are actually worth it) to sneakers and clothing, but I hadn't seen something this outrageous since HP gave, listen to this, gave Rap singer Sean “P.Diddy” Combs an diamond encrusted iPod with his signature on it, great publicity stunt there.
Just when I thought I had seen them all, UK-based “luxury goods creator” Luvaglio created a million dollar notebook. And, get this, the configuration isn't even out yet, in a final form, but it's known the notebook will feature a 128GB SSD, it will have a 17” LED backlit LCD widescreen monitor with “a specially designed anti-reflective glare coating” and a Blu-ray drive slot. It also features an integrated cleaning device, and the power button is made out of a rare diamond. What, no Swarovski crystals, oh, come on, and the price tag of one million dollars is for ... ?
Rohan Sinclair, the CEO of Luvaglio stated in an interview for gizmag.com: “I didn't want us to simply re-house a laptop into a diamond studded casing, or diamond encrust the entire thing simply to make it expensive. We've put thought in from the keyboard down to the power charger. There is an integrated screen cleaning device and a very rare coloured diamond piece of jewellery that doubles up as the power button when placed into the laptop and also acts as security identification. We have used diamonds elsewhere but have given them purpose.” | Softpedia I think I'd be too scared of losing it or it getting stolen, let alone that I couldn't afford it  |  |  | | 03-31-2007, 03:38 AM | #2 | | Registered User Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 33 | I've seen this before and I don't know why you would even want to buy it. Most people who have enough money to buy something like that don't buy something so guady, even if I could afford it I wouldn't buy it because it's really ugly. Neat novelty I guess. | | | | | 07-10-2008, 03:48 AM | #3 | | Registered User Join Date: Jul 2008 Posts: 3 | Wow! looks like a good notebook..
