that is a good point. People who spend big bucks on this kind of showoff items should think about the fact that they could also use that money to buy OLPCs for the third world or save hundreds, thousands or (in the case of those ridiculously large yachts) millions of lives with that money they throw away. Now how's that for impressing the neighbors.]]>Mar 24th 2007 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/]]>Mar 24th 2007 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 24th 2007 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 24th 2007 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
Anyone who buys one of these is gonna feel like a real tool in a few years when all of the rest of us have more powerful machines that only cost a few thousand dollars.]]>Mar 24th 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
Usually I think if you're going to charge $1 million for something, you have to have at least SOME sort of justification - if not in the actual physical materials used (i.e. like those super expensive diamond-encrusted phones and such), then in something else that makes it unique (i.e. one of only 5 in the world, custom designed by some famous designer or something). ]]>Mar 24th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/

How come the British don't make PCs?
They couldn't find a way to make them leak oil.

Computers are not jewelry, and as such it's pretty stupid to start slapping diamonds on them. I think the universal reaction to a machine like this from anyone who actually works with computers for a living is going to be "Are you fracking KIDDING me?"]]>Mar 24th 2007 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 24th 2007 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
The notebook does look good though.

* 1tb minimum solid state memory to serve as HDD
* 16gb ram minimum
* no less than 8 processor cores
* slot loading HD DVD / DVDRW / bluray hybrid
* video system with no less than 1gb dedicated memory full DX10
* It must run Apple OS X Leopard with support from Apple.
* ...And Vista of course.

I really could care less if it has any sort of glam on the outside. I don't care for such things. But it should be no larger than a MacBook Pro 17 inch.

* It should be powered by fuel cell technology. That doesn't leak or drip pesky water.

Now, if I had enough money to blow on one of these "luxury" laptops, I'd say screw it and spend a million or two more and design a laptop like I just suggested.

I don't think there's anything there that's impossible, just extremely difficult and expensive.

Michael: Macs are the best PCs right now in terms of hardware build quality and features... plus you can run Vista on them now, as well as OS X. ;-)]]>Mar 24th 2007 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
Mac's are overpriced tech that you can't overclock or do anything good with.

Vista has "copied" osx so theres one part of the battle won. Even if it was a dirty way..

Sorry but apple is outright horrible. Why do you think they finally made us able to install windows on them. They know they would lose.]]>Mar 24th 2007 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
I'm pretty sure that for a million dollars they could remove the right button, and put OS X on it. Perhaps even a diamond-encrusted apple logo on the lid?]]>Mar 24th 2007 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 24th 2007 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/

this computer is way overpriced. No one needs an SSD hdd for personal use.

2 10k (well in a laptop one big 10k) would be fine.]]>Mar 24th 2007 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
All this is is free publicity. Nobody actually buys these things. But look, here we are discussing it on Engadget, talking about a company none of us have ever heard before.]]>Mar 24th 2007 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 24th 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
That being said, I'd love a laptop with a SSD. It seems to be the perfect place for one, since they're compact, and more shock resistant than their brethren with moving parts.]]>Mar 25th 2007 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
To people who've said you should only buy this if a million dollars means nothing to you, that rules out pretty much everyone except the remnants of the aristocracy. In my experience, the only people who don't put thought into spending anything over $10,000 (this is not to say that people wouldn't put thought into buying something under this price, just not for everything) are the people who have never worked and likely never will, using up their dwindling fortune.]]>Mar 25th 2007 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
I agree with (almost) everything you're saying. In another 10 years or so, 50 cent will be another bankrupt ex-celebrity with a cocaine addiction the public's forgotten about. To an extent, I agree with you on the "born rich stay rich" theory, but not completely. People whose parents ran successful businesses, having been brought up with the values that their parents taught them will likely succeed in life. People who have never worked, whose parents never worked, whose grandparents never worked etc. are different. If you have no source of income, no matter how careful you are with your money it will not last forever. That is the aristocracy. The people who gain a lot of money in a short period of time, find themselves in the public eye, and have no experience of handling money, those are celebrities. They are the 1% of the wealthy population who enter everyone's minds whenever they think of money. Becoming famous is not the best way to become rich. Being careful with money and knwing which risks to take and which not to does. By saying that becoming rich makes you poor, you just told every start-up business in existence that they'll never turn a lasting profit. I think the problem with your way of thinking is that you assume that the only rich people in existence are they famous. That couldn't be further from the truth. As for your comment about European taxes, there is no way you're getting me into an argument about the capitlist model.]]>Mar 25th 2007 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/Mar 25th 2007 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
Isn't it the UK that has the widest gap between rich and poor of any 1st world nation? If you pay some people obscene amounts of money - never mind the black economy - they have to have something to throw the money away on. Better than hiding it under the matress!]]>Mar 25th 2007 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
