The ASUS-Automobili Lamborghini VX7 has come speeding onto the UK market.

Fans of the iconic Italian brand, especially those who can’t afford the cars’ million-dollar price tags, can bring a piece of grand touring tradition into their office.

The laptop offers a distinctive outer-casing design, a 15.6″ display, dual 750GB hard drives and quad-core 2nd generation Intel Core i7 processors and is the world’s first laptop with dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M graphics.

HP Computers have announced their partnership with the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel, whose star Sarah Jessica Parker will sport one of the company’s ‘digital clutches.’

Designed by Vivienne Tam — her Butterfly Lovers netbook premiered on her runway in 2008 — the handbag-sized mini computer will star as the columnist’s steady companion.

The electronics brand’s move follows several other attempts made by its rivals recently to lure fashion fans into the world of gadgets.

11. Music Stand Laptop

Music Stand Laptop
Use the pedal to turn digital sheet music or just touch the screen. It also throws in some computer functions by allowing on the fly scoring, note taking, and collaborative writing. When you need a real computer, a keyboard slides out from underneath the screen and use the foot pedal as a stereo to enjoy the music you just played. Designed by Sungho Lee.

NEC today announced in Japan it has teamed up with Sanrio (the company behind the Hello Kitty brand) and French fashion designer Courrèges to develop a girls-only notebook for the Japanese market.

Moving away from the obvious looks and concentrating on what lies inside, the notebook is powered by an AMD Athlon QL-60 processor (1.90GHz), a 13.3-inch WXGA screen (1280×800 resolution), a DVD drive, 2GB of main memory and a 160GB hard disk.

The so-called “NEC LaVie G Hello Kitty Courrèges” will be available online and in selected Sanrio shops only. The Nippon-only notebook will be available from October 25 (price: $1,100 without MS Office).

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..
