The Most Luxurious Laptop Ever

egoYou know, it’s pretty much par for the course that any laptop you buy these days is going to be expensive.  Even the heavily refurbished ones you get on eBay are prone to cost way more money than they should.  Still, I think we can all agree that if a laptop is actually worth a lot, if it’s really good, then it’s easier to feel okay about paying a lot of money for it.

But would you be willing to spend over three hundred thousand dollars for a laptop?  Specifically, would you be willing to pay $336,557.00?

That’s probably more than your house and, say, two cars cost, all put together, am I right?  Yeah, but the difference is, probably none of those things are practically covered in diamonds.

The innovative size and design alone make the Tulip E-Go laptop rather awesome — not quite luxurious, circles do not necessarily denote luxury, but it’s still pretty cool.  Plus, it has a high quality AMD 64 Turion processor, not to mention 1 GB PC3200.  Its graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress X2000, it has DDR RAM, its hard drive is a 100 GB SATA, and the display is twelve plus inches, a widescreen with a WXGA display.

And did we mention the diamonds?

Plasma TVs: The Bigger, the Better

panasonic-hd-plasma-televisionTelevisions have been getting progressively bigger over the years.  They have been getting clearer, sharper, and more highly defined.  But man … at this rate, we’re all going to have plasma screens the size of movie screens taking up entire walls in our living rooms!

Of course, I know quite a few people who’d love that.  I know quite a few people who would be happy just to have the 103 Inch Panasonic HD Plasma Television.  You cannot even imagine the scope of a television of this size — but the makers of it are very happy to tell you how you can imagine it.

I want you to think about this little (big) fun fact: Yao Ming, incredibly, very, very … very, very, very tall man in the MBA, is as long as this TV.  Turn it on its side, and they’d be the same height.

You can try out that theory — if you can get him to come over, of course.  Oh, and if you can afford the eighty thousand dollars this TV costs, not counting the cost of installation.

The Future of Photography

Move over, Ashton Kutcher.  You might endorse Nikon, but as cool as your commercials are, can your camera really beat this:

canon-powershotCanon has always been a huge name in the world of photographer, but it has never been more glitzy and glamorous than this.

The Bejeweled Cannon PowerShot Digital ELPH is definitely one of a kind.  Thanks to its bejeweled status, it is valued at a whopping fifty thousand dollars — but if you are extremely lucky, you might be able to get it for far less than that.  Of course, to be quite honest, the price is worth it.

That is because five of these cameras, which are a way of visually celebrating the tenth anniversary of Canon’s ELPH cameras, are being sold at an auction.  The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.  Can you imagine?  Getting a camera decorated with diamonds and being able to do something great for an important cause.

Romeo, Romeo, Where for Art Thou?

Of course, you won’t find this particular Romeo — the Alfa Romeo MiTo, that is — lingering in the shadows listening to Juliet.

You might, however, see the MiTo replacing the popular Mini’s for the people who like their cars with a little more luxury.  This model is heralded for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it represents Alfa Romeo’s long awaited return to the United States.

It is considered an 8c super car, and fans of luxury vehicles are going wild about it, in part due to its styling, which is incredibly reminiscent to the original 8c sports car.  This car will be a winner among both Alfa Romeo enthusiasts and soccer moms with an eye towards luxury.
