Giles Deacon-designed Asus laptop now available

While they may not boast quite the same name recognition as Asus's line of Lamborghini-branded laptops, the company's new Giles Deacon-designed laptops look like they should attract their fair share of attention nonetheless. Dubbed "Giles for Intel," the limited edition laptops are based on Asus's standard W5 model, with the notable addition of a custom-designed print on the lid, available in your choice of "male" or "female" designs. Otherwise, the laptops appear to be unchanged from the run-of-the-mill model, with all the usual Centrino Duo goods on the inside, along with a 12-inch display, a 160GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, and super-multi DVD/RW drive. Look for these exclusively at Selfridges stores in the UK, where they'll set you back a hefty £1,499 apiece (or just over $3,000).

Best to ignore exchange rates and just swap $ to £

Yeah, no thanks. ASUS makes high quality, great looking laptops that don't need this crap (and definitely not for that much).

[Robert Johnston @ Jul 28th 2007 4:51AM]
