Dell Does Designer; Laptops, That Is

Sure, computers may be used for practical things like typing reports, sending e-mails and web browsing. But who says they can’t be stylish at the same time? Dell has paired with luxury goods purveyor D.L. & Co. to come up with several new stylish laptops.

Each individual design is intricate and amazing. There is a pink lace design (my personal favorite), one featuring a Swarovski crystal serpent, a black one with gold starbursts with ruby-red centers, and another featuring a crystal spiderweb. The most over-the-top is probably the laptop embellished with laced-up crocodile skin and crystals. And it’s probably the only one you might actually be able to own. Only because you can win it. The “croctop” along with the other designer Dells will be on display at Bergdorf Goodman, but who the hell knows how you can actually buy one.

And who knows how much they cost. But, I’ll bet my left arm (and my leg) that most people can’t afford them because they cost more than both those body parts and then some. They are limited editions anyway, so you know it’s the well-connected rich folk who get first dibs, which means they’re probably all gone anyway.

So what have we gotten out of this? Hooray, pretty new artistically-designed computers. Boo, we don’t get to own one though. Why must the well-to-do constantly remind us common folk of the things we cannot have? Man, how will I EVER live without my crocodile laptop?
