ShopTRD.com Blog: Label Whores: Your Dream Laptop has Arrived!!!

I have a great passion for technology (my colleques poke fun of my 24" widescreen "TV" monitor attached to my docking station ... not like its one of the 30" Apple Screens ... and of my obsession with having the latest technologies), and awesome cars (my girlfriend is jeoulous of my 335i sometimes, despite assurances that I love her more), however I'm thinking that Ego Lifestyle may have taken things a little too far. I found an autoblog article a few days ago about a "Bentley Laptop" and did a little investigating. The only place I found that actually could sell the laptop was the Avant Gallery in Miami Beach, FL. I called to inquire about this Bentley Laptop and I must say, they were very couteous. It would appear that a sales price of $19,200+Tax (wait time of 3-4 weeks) allows them to be well-compensated for their excellent service. The specifications of the laptop could be found in a Dell notebook for, probably, around $1,000. So the break down appears to be $1,000 for the notebook and $18,200 for the exclsivity, design, and brand name. Unlike some critics, I gotta say, if you're an automotive enthusiast, the Ferrari Laptop (Acer) & Lamborghini laptop (ASUS) have a cool look and feel and are both, for their time, high-end technology. Personally, I like them. I'm just waiting for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" to unleash "The Ultimate Web-Surfing Machine" with a BMW Logo. That being said, some people might think of people like me as a label whore... evidently one that is good enough for a Ferrari or Lamborgini Laptop (around $2,000), but is not even in the same league as the Bentley Laptop that costs 10x as much with far less impressive specifications for the price. In all honesty, I'm not even sure that Paris Hilton could justify that purchase... but then again, no one ever accused her of thinking logically. All this has gotten me thinking... maybe I should start a company called "Label Whores R Us" and financially rape as many people as possible. Ok, maybe the name is a little much, but you've got to admit... Anyway, I've posted some pictures of the Laptop below. If you're Paris Hilton, go for it. For the rest of us, we'll just have to dream about it. On second thought, if I had to have a dream about portable computers, I'd rather dream about an OQO.
