A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Fugly. Why anyone would want an ugly laptop wrapped in a dead mother's (cow) skin is beyond me.
Nobody remembers the original iBook??
You people are forgeting who this laptop is targeted towards, Filthy rich white peolpe who dont care how much they pay for something no matter haw crappy it is as long as it has a well known name on it.
When I first saw the picture I actually thought Bentley was reduced to making bags and handbags. It just did not occur to me that it was a laptop until I read the title...
This is Spammmaaahhhh!
LOL.
also, the laptop is pretty redic.
fugly. Needs to be left behind in a cab followed by a full identity theft. (hint: try tinkerbell first as the pw).
Pretty neat way to steal money from rich idiots.
If this was a little rounder, you could put an axle thru it and roll it behind you on a tether. Truly mobile computing. Or add a motor, and have it pull you along.
It looks positively fab.
It looks positively fab.
So does that have heated and cooled leather like the cars?
That's disgusting!
I am amazed that I find this design so repulsive.
You just know that when you open this ugly mother, that the screen is just another orthogonal display, SO WHY THE CLAMSHELL, it's hideous. So hideous.
What I find so hideous and hilarious is that they chose sun-burnt PC beige for the leather. Such terribly misguided design.
They say there are no wrong answers in design, just degrees of right, but this falsifies that statement. SO WRONG!
Very attractive looking toilet seat.
If this thing was more powerful than six of my desktop tower put together, could make french fries, brew good beer from nothing but excess heat, and give blow jobs, i'd be first in line.
Call me when that happens.
I sincerely hope we really are in the beginning of the end of the consumerist nightmare.... I seriously can't even believe this will actually exist.
Is that just a old old Macbook?
You think my little chiwuaha will get comfy in there?
ONCE AGAIN, PCERS ARE SHOWN TO BE THE TASTELESS, MORONIC SHEEPLE THEY TRULY ARE. 10 year-old original iBook shape and integrated handle, underpowered, hideously ugly and running Vista. Wow. A fugly PC for fugly sheeple.
Yo who would really walk around with this shit in public.You would definitely look like a real wanna be. It just shows you how rich people are stupid with how they spend their money. I bet the shit probably has features u don't normally use, when something cost an arm and a leg it usually sucks.
Yes, it's ugly, it's way too expensive, the specs are poor and you'll look like a compete moron using one but what I want to know is how does it deal with heat? I doubt that the thick, rich leather is particularly breathable and I don't see any vents on it. Maybe they hope that when the smell of the leather cooking starts to make you hungry you'll turn it off and drive your Bentley Brooklands to Arby's for two Beed 'n Cheddars for just four dollars.
Looks like a fancy carrying case for a bathroom scale.
