UK firm offers $1 million laptop

Those who thought prices for mobile technology were going down were evidently mistaken: a London bespoke luxury goods firm, Luvaglio, has just announced it is to sell tailored laptops for a cool $1m. The firm is the brainchild of chief executive Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio, and evidently he is a real person and isn't joking. But while outfitting a computer for Windows Vista might be expensive, it shouldn't cost as much as an entire data centre, and indeed the technical specifications are only part of the justification for the laptop's cost.

In an interview this week with Gizmag, a website dedicated to technologies primarily designed to cost money, such as an "intelligent travel humidor" or a bullet-proof Range Rover, Luvaglio insisted he did not want to "diamond encrust the entire thing simply to make it expensive", but indeed diamonds do play a key part in the laptop's appeal.
