$30,000 Laptop Has Ivory Keys, Violin-Wood Casing, and Diamond 'Mouse'
Are you bored already with your MacBook Air? Some really really rich people are -- well, it's okay for running around with, but not so much for the personal library.
What's a tragically wealthy laptop user to do? Singulum has come up with a great way to relieve such unfortunates of at least $30,000 dollars, the approximate starting price for the brand's newest luxury laptops.
The laptops are one of a kind "works of art," and are hand made from fine woods selected for crafting violins. The basic price buys a ThinkPad with a 2 GHz Intel dual core processor, plus your preferred fancy wood casing.
Of course, you can spend more on extra features like ivory keys and diamond track point tips, but we're afraid the rocks might clash a little with the wood. Singulum can also put in different hardware as per your specifications -- gosh, they'll do whatever you want if you put down enough money.
Or, you could invest your pocket change in something more practical, like a car or butt implants. [Source: Singulum, via dvice.com]

No way could I EVER feel good about using ANYTHING made of ivory. The only way you could make this thing worse it to make a sea turtle shell case for it.

What an ugly piece of crap - at ANY price. Mixing technology with Old World symbols of wealth would only appeal to someone with absolutely no taste at all. The is seriously the ugliest computer that I've ever seen.

What a waste of money.
I mean, first of all, ivory? Seriously? What fool would want ivory ANYTHING?! I mean, there are other sources of ivory, instead of elephant... but still! Ivory is dentine... which is what teeth are made out of... so who the hell wants to type on teeth? Disgusting.
But here's the kicker... this $30,000 pile of garbage is going to be outdated in a few months. What the hell are you going to do with it after that?

I'm on the market for a laptop with ivory and tortoise shell keys, whale skin case and with a tiger fur carrybag.
Possibly from a company with a plan that guarantees that part of the price would go to clear cut a pach of useless rainforest

Laptop & LCD TV Reviews:
Warning for people thinking about buying a LCD TV or Laptop: The worst laptop in the market today is Averatec. I purchased a 12.1" laptop and could not get the customer service to even respond and when they responded they said I should find a local laptop repair shop to help me at my own expense. I paid a lot of money for this laptop and has taken it in for repairs 4 times and finally dumped it. This is the most terrible manufacturer one can ever encounter. I bought it based on a recommendation by PC Magazine, so be careful when you read these recommendations. Walmart and a lot of other stores have stopped carrying this brand. For those considering LDC HDTV, forget about Olevia/Syntax brand. The product is terrible and the customer service is the definition of "chaos". I paid $1500.00 for the tv, but have lost sound/audio and pictures/video a couple of times in just a couple of years. They don't have authorized dealers, so you either have to ship it to them for repairs at your own expense or hope to find a handy person locally to fix it for you.
