Vegetarians should look away right about now--Asus has unveiled yet another leather-clad laptop in addition to its UE2, aimed at posers, fashionistas, and pretty much anyone from Essex. Ladies and chavs, introducing: the new and updated Asus F8P Stylebook.

We're being terribly harsh here. The F8P is prettier than most laptops and is available in black as well as white. The palm rest is finished in real leather and the lid in a matching ivory effect--although we doubt the latter is derived from the tusk of an actual elephant. Shiny metal accents around the edge and above the keyboard round off a truly elegant package. For a closer look, click here.

Alligator skin laptops?

This is just too cheesy for me. This goes into the hardtop on a car made to look
like a convertible. If you wanted a convertible you should have bought one and
if you can't afford one don't bastardize your car with a fake one.

Leather looks good in car seats but I'm not going to get one so a cow has to die.
Or on my laptop. I don't think the leather thing works for every item.
