The World’s Most Extravagant Laptop

PC World is featuring a picture article on “The World’s Most Extravagant Technology Products” and one in particular caught my eye. It’s the absurdly expensive Luvaglio laptop, with a price tag of over $1 million.

“Even if you say it like Dr. Evil, it doesn’t seem to make sense. Then again, what other laptop comes with 128GB of solid-state storage and a 17-inch backlit LED screen with its own integrated cleaner? Lesser notebooks aren’t encased in wood, leather, and precious metals. And they most certainly don’t come in a motorized box that opens itself, exposing the laptop to your waiting, impeccably manicured hands.

But here’s the clincher: Remember how Superman’s Fortress of Solitude was run by crystals? The Luvaglio laptop activates only when you insert the unique colored diamond that’s included, making the gem a power button, security device, and conversation starter all rolled into one. The expressions on your guests’ faces better be worth the price.”

You could buy a boring Mercedes Benz SL like every other baller who doesn’t know crack about cars, or you could rock this spanking new 2008 Aston Martin DBS. The DBS is Aston’s newest top gun and also it’s priciest, with a sticker price of $265,000.

Powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine with 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, it’s a car worthy enough to make an appearance in James Bond’s recent flick, “Casino Royale.” Speed tops out at 191 mph and it does 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds.

The DBS will definitely be one of the most sought after super coupes in the world, so get your name on the waiting list today!
