The laptop is only one in this world and the buyer can customize it to his choice of precious metals, leathers and real woods. It is built in a design that allows for component upgrades.

2. Tulip E-Go Diamond

Tulip describes itself as the “world’s most desired luxury notebook” and we too think so. But at a price tag of $355,000 the desire will not be satisfied as for me. Its chrome handle and rounded curves make it resemble a women’s handbag. It also has changeable skins made of superior quality leathers with white gold plates and diamonds. The titanium hooks and sliding panels mask the unsightly ports and connections. The specs are not above standard though. It has a 12 inch antiglare display, 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, integrated webcam, Bluetooth 2.0, and DVD burner.

3. Ego for Bentley
