Toshiba Natural Selection laptops get celebrity paintjobs, good causes

Alright, we're not too happy with the Natural Selection moniker implying that being a celebrity is somehow a marker of evolutionary prowess, but we'll forgive Toshiba this one time. The Japanese company has recruited a quartet of famous folks to help promote its wares with limited edition laptops painted to their specifications. Aerosmith guitar legend Joe Perry, the no less mythical Rainn Wilson, Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward and his coach Mike... oh wait, that's Omar Epps, have put their own personal stamps on a selection of Toshiba's latest 505 laptop models from the A, P, M, and Qosmio X series. These will be auctioned off on eBay starting this Friday, with all proceeds going to charity. Any more questions before you start the bidding? No? Good.

Rainn Wilson's "SoulPancake" (the one with cardinals and jet packs and whatever that pac-man looking sun eater is supposed to be) ... is a pretty cool design.

They look awesome. I like these kind of auctions.

[Krag Posted Nov 25th 2009 7:51AM]

Rainn Wilson sucks. More Dwight less douchey stuff

hmmm there needs to be one with Hendrix on it, then i would buy that Toshiba no matter how bad the hardware is.

The issue I have with "designer" laptops is that the design will get really old in a year. Sticking to a classic look on a notebook will ensure that the user does not become bored with it in a few years.

Cardinals, and Jet Packs!

The world just got a little bit more gaudy.
