Million Dollar Laptops

By appointment only you can now drop a cool million dollars on a laptop at some high end London boutique outlet. Oh goodie! Just what do you get for a million dollars? An anti-glare 17 inch LED backlit display that is self cleaning; I guess that's so you don't have to bother your servants, 128GB solid state hard drive, and a fancy-pants slot loading blue-ray player. There are many large diamonds included but we are assured that they have been incorporated in a tasteful fashion. Minimizing the risk you will be called a pompous twat for dropping a million bucks on a laptop.

Luvaglio CEO Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio told Gizmag earlier today: “Unlike many of the highly priced products being released, we took our time to develop something out of the ordinary with real attention to detail. “

“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.”

Gizmag has more on the laptop if you are interested. But let's make a quick comparison as to what you could do with a million dollars other than blow it on this magical laptop. For $5,600 you can get an Alienware laptop with 400 GB RAID, 2 GB RAM, dual 512MB NVidia® GeForce™ Go 7900 GTX video cards, and a 19 inch screen. If you are a mac dude, you can max out their 17 inch macbook pro at around $3,500. In either case this leaves quite a chunk of change to splurge on other items.

Let's see a fully loaded Porsche 911 Turbo will run you about $130,000. We are still $65,000 short of a fifth of the price of the laptop. So lets allocate that $65 grand for a top of the line ski boat, a Correct Craft Air Nautique 226. Now we are up to about $200k. For another $725k you can get a 3,630 sq/ft house in Orlando with access to the Butler chain of lakes. This allows you to wake board in front of Tiger Wood's house if you so desire. The extra $75k you can spend on coke and strippers throwing an extravagant house warming party. Or you could get a 420 hp Audi RS 4 and have enough cash leftover to purchase a laptop in two years that is twice as fast as your million dollar diamond encrusted computer.
