50th Anniversary Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanners

Filed under: Gadgets

Document scanning is not usually a glamorous activity and the equipment, no matter how high-end, is usually a bit of an eyesore but Fujitsu's newly decked out scanners are downright attractive. Two of Fujitsu's most popular ScanSnap models, the S1500 and S1300, have been given special limited-edition upgrades in honor of the 50th anniversary of PFU Imaging Solutions Europe. The scanners feature an Urushi lacquer coating applied using an ancient Japanese layering technique and a logo and special flying eagle image created out of pure gold powder. The scanners can be purchased via special order directly from Fujitsu for $3,200 (model S1500) or $2,200 (model S1300).

Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional HG Japan

A high price tag should buy you beauty and functionality, but the two don't always coexist for some reason. Take the Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional HG Japan, a new limited edition keyboard that was created by a collaboration between Fujitsu and Daitetsu-Yatsui Urushi Workshop. Daitetsu-Yatsui Urushi specializes in traditional Japanese lacquer techniques, so the basic blank Happy Hacking Keyboard has carefully-coated keys, each of which were hand-painted and sprinkled with gold dust. It is beautiful, especially when compared to most keyboards out there, but a blank keyboard might not even be appealing to highly skilled typists. Price: $4,240.
