It was inspired by Vivienne Tam China Chic style recognized from the runways in Milan, for the Olympic Games in Beijing and represents his personal mantra to live well and be beautiful.

If you’re in the market for a different kind of laptop system – check out the Singulum laptop system.

Each Singulum system is crafted out of a single block of wood and features a keyboard made out of either ivory of 24 carat solid gold (be careful if you select the ivory as many countries including the US have a strict ban on ivory imports).

Now some of their product pictures on their website seem to infer that there’s a single piece of diamond used like a trackpoint pointer..
