A Million-Dollar Laptop Created

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the conspicuous-consumption dept.

aluminumangel writes "For those of you who don't know what to do with all your money, why not a one million-dollar laptop from the U.K-based company Luvaglio? With 128GB of solid state disk space, Blu-ray, and a detachable rare diamond that acts like a power button and a security key."

  1. 128 GB of storage by tepples · · Score: 4, Interesting

    128 GB of solid-state storage isn't that expensive. All you have to do is get a bunch of 1 GB microSD chips and put them in a big fat RAID, totaling under $2,000. So what's the practical use of this product, apart from conspicuous consumption?

  2. They should use it to run the website by roman_mir · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the website referenced in the story is /.ed Maybe they should invest in a million dollar laptop to run the site from.

    Anyway, this is Hedonism for the richest. There is no reason to have a million dollar laptop today, when the most expensive laptops don't go over 10K. The fact that there are dimonds on this thing just show that this is not about a laptop, this is about another pointless status symbol, like an adopted kid from Africa for some US celebrities.
