At long last, relief from public ridicule. You've been suffering in the embarrassment of having to tote around that low-end $350,000 Tulip Ego for months, but someone has finally come along with a portable computer worthy of your elevated station. (How on earth could you be expected to carry a laptop that costs less than your cell phone?)

A rather mysterious company named Luvaglio of London has supposedly created a $1 million laptop, which Luxurylaunches says is "believed to integrate real diamonds and other precious jewelry into the chassis of the system." But any facts have been far outweighed by speculation, much of which was sparked by the YouTube clip below that depicts the laptop emerging from its packaging.

Another Loser monopoly capitalist

Yeah right, because the Rich pulled themselves from their boot straps and earned everything they got. How many mega millionaires came from nothing. Almost NONE. Wealth produces more wealth and stays within the family and social network.

This is another sheik toy for their over indulged loser children who do not have a work ethic.

Why so aggro? Another violent hater on discussion boards... how nonel!
Commie? My friends would get a good laugh at that. I suppose it's only good
when the wealthy prey upon the lower classes in your economic model.
Seperating a fool from his money holds for rich and poor fools.
That's a balanced form of capitalism that even a simpleton such as yourself
should be able to comprehend.
