Click to ZoomWe've seen plenty of expensive gizmos in our days, most of which are not due to advanced electronics, but this is one of the very few times we've had to get into seven figures. I'm not exactly sure what it is about this laptop from Luvaglio London that makes it so special, but the current asking price on the computing creation is a cool $1 million.
They've got a black one for the gents and a pink edition for the gals in the audience. To add to the exclusivity, you won't be able to just waltz into your local Best Buy or surf on up onto Amazon to get your hands on one of these expensive gems. Instead, the $1 million laptop can only be ordered "by appointment" from Luvaglio London.
Maybe it's the self-opening case in the video below that makes it worth the asking price. Then again...

No system specs? What sort of laptop is that ...
OK, the youtube video says it has 2.877Ghz Intel Dual core processor.
From http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/24/million-dollar-laptop-coming-from-uk-luxury-firm-luvaglio/
As far as specs go, we're hearing that it'll have a self-cleaning 17-inch widescreen monitor with a special anti-reflective coating, a 128GB Solid State Disk Drive, and a slot loading Blu-ray drive, along with the obligatory diamond encrusted power button.

If you think that's a waste of money check out the Pizza Royale 007:

Most Expensive Pizza Even Bond Would Not Resist
For the superrich who follows the most-expensive tag religiously and truly believe, stomach is the way to heart, the award-winning restaurateur and chef, Domenico Crolla has created the world’s most expensive pizza that is sprinkled with edible 24-carat gold shavings. The gold-topped pizza is named Pizza Royale 007 after the expensive tastes of suave agent James Bond. The Bond flavor gives to the toppings of champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in the finest cognac. The gold pizza prepared with luxurious delicacies will sell for more than $3700. The Bond pizza is up for bidding on eBay and the auction will accept bids by November 17.
Here is the pizza and the chef who made it in person, Domenico Crolla :

Ripping off stupid rich people seems to be a pretty good business model actually. Clothes designers have been doing it for ages.

Although the specifications are currently unavailable, the firm notes that much of the cost stems from its use of luxurious materials. Buyers have the choice of relatively exotic materials such as pink leather or finished black wood for the outer shell, and gold or other precious metals for the lining; even diamonds are said to be part of the system. A matching case holds the system without seeming out of place in a home or office's decor.

But I'd like the self-cleaning screen. My laptop screen is a dust magnet and that solid state hard drive - I want it.

Don't be silly, the price is only $1000000. A mircosoft proof computer would be priceless.
I'm only spending $1 million on this laptop if it passes the Turing Test for artificial consciousness. Otherwise, I'm just going to wait until the 2030's.
