Re:Fabulous first post!
This would be my ideal laptop but only if it had a larger screen/keyboard. A 15.4" version would be lovely.

Just rolled out 500 of these at work...
I'm a sysadmin at a fortune 500 company. We just rolled out 500 of these computers last week and found that productivity went up 39%. Little wonder - aesthetics are known to boost morale and worker efficiency.

How to not get your laptop stolen
Do this. No one will ever want to steal something like that!

You don't countYou don't count because you are not the type of person who buys a new computer... pretty much ever. You are still using a pp200? I have boxes of those things here I give to people who are too poor and/or uneducated to realize the value of a home pc. It's too slow for gaming and too limited to be really useful for someone's porn addiction, so it's a machine that will either do the home some good or nothing at all.
You could hop over to one of the surplus dealers and replace that raggedy pp200 with a box at least five time faster - I see 500-600mhz PIII machines go out the door all the time for $99.00. If an upgrade to five times the performance you are getting now isn't even worth a hundred bucks, then you simply don't count. You may have found it "refreshing" to read about a ceo who isn't hyping clock speed above all, but in the end you don't matter to him or the industry because your money never makes it up the food chain. You're not "the type" he's trying to reach because you obviously don't consider even a $300 laptop or $99 desktop a worthy upgrade - so when would you ever appear on his radar? Five years after, when the machines are so antiquated they're not even worth freight charges?
I'm not saying this to dis you: I'm also into being a green geek and recycling everything I can get my hands on (thus my collection of old "giveaway" desktops and cheap refurbished laptops). But those Via boards are not designed for sub-$100 desktops. At best they'd make a sub-$300 desktop, and you can buy machines right now that would trounce such a low end machine for much less than $200 on the surplus market. And you wouldn't be generating any new pollutants (except the packing materials and the fuel for shipments) with the surplus system.
So, are you really sure you're "the person he was thinking of?"
You can buy 500mhz laptops for under $300 if you're patient with your bidding and expect to do a bit of parts swapping. And yes, if you buy the right systems you'll find a machine that is very well upgradeable just by swapping a few parts. My own portable pet is a 500MHz PIII frankensteined from no less than three previously dead machines (only one of which is now still dead). I do this all the time and my only concession to new is to buy a new hdd (if needed) since brand new (warranteed) 20gb drives are only about twice as expensive as worn out 4gb drives.
You can do exactly what you're wishing, but you can't do it with new boxed parts and a three year warranty. If you want new then you got to get out the cleaning materials and spray paint and create!

brand tie ins?
This may be one of the first OFFICIAL brand tie ins, but people have made unofficial brand tie in laptops before, such as this Hello Kitty laptop.

Check out the one I built
I use this case at my job on Wall Street where I'm a derivatives trader. The case is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for my work.

Pink Hello Kitty Laptop has **Moved**
The new URL is http://www.exonome.com/fj/phkl/.
Please use the new URL. The owner of the site of the old URL would probably rather not be slashdotted.
Incidentally I know the guy who did this, he's utterly cool. You should check out some of his other stuff at http://www.exonome.com/fj/ such as ToriAntiTori and Virginity At Last. (ObDisclaimer: I had a hand in the latter.) -
