A $10,000 notebook that you can’t have

Even if you can afford it. Well, nobody ever said that you can’t, actually. But you really can’t have this baby. It’s a totally blinged out Lenovo IdeaPad U160, but what’s making that price so high?
“Lenovo couldn’t actually tell us much about the laptop itself. We asked the rep if it was available to buy and he said no. We asked how much it cost and he said they didn’t know, but after a quick conferral with another Lenovo rep said he’d heard “around $10,000.” We asked why it existed and he didn’t really know that either.”
Courtesy of Computer Choppers, there’s a 14-carat white gold and diamond logo, along with highly scratch resistant platinum plating on the lid. The cool thing? The logo actually sparkles thanks to an LCD backlight. Now that’s how bling-bling is done!

The glammed-up IdeaPad U160 (dubbed the UberLux) is actually the result of an Intel/Lenovo campaign called ‘What’s Your Idea of Fun?’ Part of the campaign is a mod contest that will see the eventual winner head to CES 2011. Computer Choppers’ founder entered the content with this IdeaPad mod.
