Ever wanted a laptop that matches your new bleached snakeskin Proenza Schouler jacket? Friends calling you a yuppie for using a mac because you can't be seen with an IBM?
It looks like the fashion industry has made a new friend with the laptop...
For a while, I thought Apple were the only ones making aesthetically pleasing laptops, as it turns out, Apple actually hires Asus to build their laptops. Asus also happens to supply a flashy set of leather trimmed laptops for fashionistas:
One of the things making it perfect for the fashion crowd is that it's 11 inches long, which means you can practically fit it into a clutch, they even included a flashy pink in the collection of leather trims:
My personal favorite is the plain brushed metal version (not pictured)
Another fancy ultralight from sony:
Although these form over function computers were tempting,
I personally went for an Asus W3J (same components as a macbook pro, sexy brushed aluminum lid + swappable optical drive for $800 cheaper than a macbook pro)
Car manufacturers like porsche and lamborghini have already made some gaudy notebooks for the rich and tasteless, but I'm wondering how long until designers start unleashing Doirtops and Oscar de la Notebooks on their fashion victims.
