Ego For Bentley (about $16,500) Laptop-car tie-ins are nothing new: We’ve seen sports car brand like Lamborghini and Ferrari do it. Why not the ultra-rarefied luxury Bentley? Ego has been trying to market luxury laptops for years—their signature shape—like a dainty handbag—is recognizable to fashion-conscious tech enthusiasts. Each leather-wrapped laptop (the same leather from the interiors of Bentley cars) is hand-stitched and hand-built, and trimmed with chrome. The handle of the purse-computer looks like the door handle on a Bentley. The “under the hood” component, however, may give you pause: Windows Vista, 160 GB HD, and an unidentified “64 bit processor.” |

Rangefinder not SLR
Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite USB Key ($450)
that picture didn't work for me....but who buys these things i ask myself
Rich people sure sound stupid reading your list. The internals of those items look questionable. The Bently laptop had a Turion processor (yuck) and Pentax hasn't been a player in quality SLR for a while. I have a 2 year old Pentax SLR, it has Samsung internals; It's not great and neither are any of the Samsung SLRs. I'm sure the cellphones also have disappointing internals (the inclusion of the Razr confirms it).

Thanks, we're working on the image problem...

That's exactly right: Most of this gear does not include the most advanced components and features on the market! Isn't that incredible? The most expensive stuff is not necessarily the best stuff.
I heard Bentley keeps leftover boards (real wood paneling) and sheets of leather from when they make your car. That way, if something needs to be replaced in the future, it comes from the same animal, tree, etc... so it better matches with everything else already in the car.
Still, that computer looks more like a purse to me.
About saying that many people of great wealth are unintelligent...
I have spent a considerable amount of time in one of the millionaire playgorunds in my city, a private airport. Of all the people I met, I only met 1 who had any college/university level education (he was a lawyer), but yet I have found many who haven't graduated fomr high school (with one man having a grade 5 education, coincidently owning a electronic store chain).
super lame no wonder there are starving people in this world
