The million dollar laptop

Full details of the laptop have not been released at this point, but it is known that it incorporates a 17" widescreen LED lit screen with a specially designed anti-reflective glare coating for clear and brighter image, 128GB of Solid State Disk space and a slot loading Blue-Ray drive. There is an integrated screen cleaning device and a very rare coloured diamond piece of jewellery that doubles up as the power button when placed into the laptop and also acts as security identification.

My neighbor had a million dollar laptop too, it was in old IBM thinkpad. It was the software on it that gave it value. This is just a waste of money, and overpriced. I mean okay big solid state drives cost a couple grand, and they're, from the sounds of it, putting in lots of other wastefully expensive thingamajigs, but I unless they're putting $750,000 worth of diamonds in it... how could it possibly be worth that much?

128GB of Solidstate memory, I'm not sure it even exists as a single drive right now.

Anyone who would buy such a thing should be considered mentally dead. What the hell is this company thinking?

In 5 years this machine will maybe be worth the diamonds it is encrusted. And in 10 years everyone will have all the pricey hardware trinkets in their own desktops.

So, buying a million dollar laptop sounds like an epitome of stupidity to me. If someone has a million dollars laying around and in dire need of a laptop, for god's sake, buy something fancy for 20 thousands and donate the rest to charities or Richard Dawkins fund.

Buying a luxurious car...you at least have some chance that it will keep its original value. But buying an overpriced and overhyped laptop? No thank you.
