    Nice design, it looks like granite.

    "luxury goods creator Luvaglio has created the first 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.""

    http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/

    It can only be ordered "by appointment" from Luvaglio London. There was a video on youtube, but it's been taken off.

    Not quite. Pounds rather than dollars, but really that's even more money.

    I'll guess that it's just another bench mark. It seems to be a run of the mill computer that anyone or any shop could build but the location of the sale may draw a total moron with a full bank account so why not?

    The only advantage I see it having from other laptops is the Solid State Disk, which still doesn't justify its price.

    No moving parts, like in the Apple Air laptop. I think?

    They must need to get back a lot on R&D because I can't figure out how this could cost more than $20k max.

    Enlighten me....

    Look at the article date, so much for the exclusivity of cutting edge technology.

    whats the point of a million dollar laptop...made of granite.

    the technology inside it isnt worth a million, the laptop is heavy for for a fraction of the price you can buy a laptop as good as that...still have change for an F40, 550 maranello and a nice home.
