To be filed under the ridiculously aspirational: the
new Bentley laptop designed by
Ego. For those who believe that a hood ornament transferred to your leather-bound laptop will lead you any closer to mogul status, please contact me so I can steer your financial missteps in the right direction (philanthropy, real estate, ok, fine, a pair of
YSL Tribute sandals). I'm glad
Engadget seems to agree on the absurdity of the latest to enter the luxury laptop division, which starting at close to $20K makes my current laptop wishlist (comprised solely of the
Macbook Air) look like a trip to the 99 Cent Store. Barneys appeared to drop the line after carrying an earlier design, and this version is sold only at Selfridge's, although Ego is expanding its market in the label-happy UAE. Check out the
Ego website for diamond-encrusted laptops and more signs that society isn't on its way to hell in a handbag after all. It's headed that direction via your luxury notebook.

sorry to say, but I do like the design. Might be a bit overpriced, but he, there are a lot of people out there that do want to have something special other people can't afford. anyway, to my opinion it's less overpriced than some of their cars and certainly less than another mobile gadget, the goldvish luxury phones!
Regards,
Erik
