    Would companies please stop using alternate spellings of actual words as their product/tech? It makes my head esplode every time I read "Blue Ray" in print and on "news" websites.

    Actually, the companies are fine. News websites need to stop trying to "correct" the misspelled brandnames. If the brand is Blu-Ray, then that's what you print. Or, do they blow their nose on a clean-ex and drink cocaine-cola-nut?

    There is an integrated screen cleaning device and a very rare coloured diamond piece of jewellery that doubles up as the power button when placed into the laptop and also acts as security identification.

    I demand clarification.

    If rappers became computer nerds all of a sudden, this laptop is what will be in the next Jay-Z video. Seriously, the hip hop community is the only one I can see that this would remotely appeal to. I know that there are no techies out there who would buy this.

    Nope. Bond uses a Vaio. Silly, but not a million quid silly.

    If your diamond encrusted PSP and blinged out Escalade aren't enough, sitting there in your Armani suit eating caviar and drinking champagne, then perhaps you should try out a one million dollar laptop from luxury designer Luvaglio. That's cheap at twice the price! What do you get at one million dollars? A PS4! (I kid in love)

    For a million smackers, I'd want a bit more then an integrated screen cleaing device....

    :lol:

    If you have a million dollars, you should know that you can get a better laptop than this.

    the type of people who would buy this would buy it to prove that money means nothing to them. Because apparently somebody's supposed to give a shit that money means nothing to them.

    I don't care, and I doubt anybody outside of celebrity watchers cares either.

    I would guess that that "128GB Solid State Disk" comprises a large part of the cost. That's a LOT of SD cards. :P

    Oh fuck. Wrong thread. Sorry lads.

    Well, it does have a Blu-Ray drive.

    see, from a nerd's perspective, imagine taking it home, installing something like Supreme Commander or S.T.A.L.K.E.R, setting everything to maximum.. then seeing the framerate drop.


    I think i'd probably cry.

    I'm sorry but...can't you like, buy the world's most expensive luxury car for this much or am I seriously mistaken? And couldn't, for 4 more million, you buy a Veyron? And wouldn't that be cooler to have?

    Actually, just to be nit-picky, Coca-cola is more correct than cocaine-cola.

    This will be bought by the same people who somehow encourage Victoria's Secret to keep cranking out the $1 million jewel-encrusted bra each year, despite the fact that it's likely the most uncomfortable piece of clothing ever.

    I know for a fact it's not.

    There's an off-topic yet fascinating story that now must be told.

    Bumped because dammit, I want to hear about the bra.

    Ok, quit stalling on the bra tale. Out with it, now!

    Maybe they haven't worn the bra but have worn something they consider MORE uncomfortable.

    Yeah, because rappers are the only nouveau rich in the entire world.
