Bling Bling - Tulip E-Go Diamond Laptop

Tulip, known for its unique design of laptops that look like handbags has launched a new design called the E-Go Diamond.

The Tulip E-Go notebook is inlaid with solid palladium white gold plates set with a total of 80Crt in thousands of tiny brilliant-cut diamonds. Additionally, both Tulip logos on the unit are set with square-cut rubies.

I wonder how it puts up on usability testing though. Those diamonds could give you some nasty abrasions, not to mention leaving those brilliant-cut marks on you forearm during extended use.

The Tulip E-Go Diamonds's hardware is just about the same as the other E-Go laptops, though not quite something to balk at, not a real performance demon either.

But for its size and design, the suggested retail price of €283,000 could be a bargain gift for the woman who has everything. Happy Holidays!!
