Looks like a portable seat cushion. After a few years, it will be as useful as a seat cusion...a $375,795 seat cusion.

Someone tell these people that diamonds are soooo 2002!

 

[bigandy]

JUST what i was thinking!

Yeah, fits about right.

I think I see family resemblance here though:

...is sorta like a ********* verison of:

 

[Flyingpig]

Is that the most expensive laptop ever produced Ever heard of something similar??

By the way, it makes me feel rich now with my $200 clamshell Guess I just have to take that Apple off and replace it by a Tulip to make it complete

 

[bentley]

Perfect accessory for...

Paris Hilton - Plastic with diamonds.... She will probably get one, it would be the perfect matching accessory

hah they've stole Tracy Beakers little slogan too, "Dare to be different". hey i only know that because my little sister gets TV priority at dinner time and she cant stand the Weakest Link

 

[Chaszmyr]

First of all, it's WAY not pretty enough to justify the price. (Not even fancy enough.. for that price, I want it to be made out of gold, not plastic.)

Second, and more importantly, why would you want to spend a fortune on something that is still going to be outdated in a year? I doubt it even has good specs to begin with. Who who is going to spend that much on a computer knows anything about computers anyway?

The specs aren't bad but it's no l-systems.

Sorry about the long post... it was just a copy and paste from the E-Go's site. I edited to remove the excessive carriage returns, but I left the confusing PC Card Slot thing how it was.

 

[Mechcozmo]

With those specs... I don't think it gets 4 hours of battery life. Maybe 4 minutes if you turn on and use everything at once. Assuming it doesn't crash.

And no GigE? Sheesh! For that price..

ego - so that the only thing it would appeal to is your ego knowing you could spend that much money on something you'd never need.....

Bleh

Man, breakfast sure tasted better going down than coming back up, and those silver accents look some sort of bad tattoo... who designed this monstrosity. I think there is a special place in hell reserved just for them.

 

[calyxman]

Lots of money mixed with pure stupidity.

 

[dubbz]

I don't think the design is that bad*. But I don't get the Diamonds and the resulting Bizzaro World price... It's probably intended for the same people who buy a couple of Rolls Royce/Ferraris just for fun...

* But, alright.. I'm weird that way. Just wrap it in black and there's a good chance I'll like it.

 

[Applexilef]

I seriously don't conceive anyone buying this thing, even if they had all the money in the world

 

[Ringo]

Belive what!!! there new slogan is : dare to be different. Does that sound like somthing familiar???
