- Lorian, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27The Xbox 360 laptop is so frickin' cool.
- kevinHaney, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24The Steampunk Laptop is hardcore.
- thundacracka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Ben Heck is a legend in his own time.
- AbortedFetus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18The Steampunk Laptop:
"The creator was inspired by the Apple Mac (he wanted to make something completely different)"
ROFL - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Damn. Ben Heck doesn't play around!
- funkytaco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15My favorite laptop you can't buy:
The P-P-P-Powerbook!
http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/ - devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15The blackbook looks sleek.
Don't forget the $100 laptop for the One Laptop Per Child project - you can't really buy them, they're all for distribution in needy communities.

PSP or Gameboy? - sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I am sure the internet will be our friend on this one. Some kid in Ethiopia will likely sell his on this newfound discovery called "eBay".
Since its not readily available I would be surprised if it wouldn't sell for up to 10x its worth ($1000). I am sure $1000 goes a long way in a country where the laptop would be available. - Aaronichi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"A laptop we'll never see: The AMD $100 laptop"
you beat me to it.
whoever's digging it down is a turd - Riborg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Liebermann's Laptop probably overheats like crazy.
- dillybat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4MS would probably sell more XBOX 360s if they could afford to put it in this form factor.
Just imagine, you walk into the living room to watch your favorite show and someone is playing xbox. Just ask them to take it in the other room... I would love a console that came with built in screen and sound options! - gzim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Liebermann laptop doesn't exist. No amount of money could purchase spec'd parts. Read their site, they make "supercomputers" with parts that don't exist at all...
- cjdaniel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3From the article, on the "Steampunk" laptop:
"... laptop that looks like something out of the movie 'Pi.'"
Shouldn't this say "out of the movie 'Brazil'"? Especially since it specifically says the creator was inspired by Terry Gilliam ... Aronofsky and Gilliam are both great, but they are two different people. - Yoshi39, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.boxofprox.com/
- lava, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I read the whole thing. I'm a little disturbed by the fact that Jeff was never heard from again.

- wokkawokkabish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Liebermann Olympus 20″ Widescreen Notebook"
ROFL! I can't believe this company still pretends to make notebooks! I have yet to see a single review of any one of their notebooks. From what I know, they are all rebranded Clevo notebooks. The folks at Liebermann have a great imagination. - resplence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I want the BlackBook NOW
- Invid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Jebus, that thing's sexy. Looks like it would scratch if you looked at it cross- eyed though.
- cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Steampunk project page (Japanese)
http://ironwork.jp/monkey_farm/computer/pc2.html - psokarovski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1BlackBook best looking laptop i have ever seen in my life. I mean just look at it, how elegant is it.
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, it's possible, it would just be the size of your current PC. >_>
- andrewpate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'll sell you a P-P-P-Powerbook. For the bargain price of $500... ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2O my... godamned enterprise firewall that halt all youtube videos! >:-(((
- BonitaJo2183, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha...the steampunk is kinda funny....my fav
- Drogers81, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is some really cool stuff. I wish these were available to buy
- ActionableMango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0From the Lieberman laptop: "PAL/NTSC HDTV internal tuner"
This makes no sense. HDTV tuners are DVB-T or ATSC, not PAL/NTSC. - wdhow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool indeed. Reminds me of the typewriters in David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch.
http://pasila.lib.hel.fi/~basse/tmp/powderbug.jpg - Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am surprised they didn't talk about the $100 laptop. I mean, maybe people finally realized that its vapourware, but I mean, it IS an article about laptops you can't buy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0most of those are ugly hacks that can't stand competition with production laptops in ergonomy.
i like the last one though, normal laptop but in a slick design, not the 'my little pony' design of apples either. - Jernej, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1It is not an actual laptop, it is not even mobile - see a battery anywhere? you'd need a warp core to power it mobily aniway :/
- meobrien, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0It's Chinese, actually, and the Google translation is hilarious.

If you can't spill water on the keyboard, or drop the computer down the stairs without breaking it, then I'm afraid your laptop is a useless piece of *****, no matter how much gigahertz you have under the hood. - iamshades, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0i have that problem too here at school, but i have an admin login to bypass filters =]
- allhailchetry, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Ben Heck's Micro NES is also tres cool.
