A little over the top

Ahhh yes, but not worth the money until it has 20 inch rims.

Quite lame IMHO. For a million dollars, I'd be wanted something a lot better than a measly 128GB of HDD space. For a million dollars, I could get several hundred top-of-the-line AlienWare notebooks.

Don't worry, its just another "HEY! Look what I can do" products, nothing but show, it probably won't ever be for sale.

I think this is a better idea...

The Better Bang-For-The-Buck Solution
You know, outside of the dubious diamonds, this thing can't possible cost more than $15K, even if the working parts are absolutely top-notch.

We firmly believe in "bang for the buck," and this case is no exception.

You know, if you just settled for the best mass-produced laptop available, with the money you have left over, you could hire yourself a staff to handle the laptop 24/7 during, say, a three-year useful life.

You could hire people to carry it around. Of course, you wouldn't have those beasts of burden actually use the machine. You'd have someone else do the actual typing.

And, of course, he wouldn't do any typing before he heard from the various experts you'd hire as consultants to advise your typist as to the best financial sites, the best luxury goods sites, the best porn sites . . . .

For sure, to make the proper impression, you would certainly dress your staff appropriately. No Geek squad garb for them, distinctive outfits for your every mood, maybe medieval academic on Monday, ancient Egyptian on Tuesday.

True, hiring all these people 24/7 might push the million-buck envelope a bit, but it's not like you don't have more where that came from, and if you really had to scrimp, you could drop the financial expert when the markets are closed.

But really, wouldn't that impress people a lot more and give you a ton more bang for your bucks than diamond power and CD eject buttons?
