Does this have 1000BHP like the Veyron?
Colin B @ Jul 21st 2008 4:20PM
warning...rant ahead:
Please note: This is a Bentley laptop, not a Bugatti. Thanks for trying to be clever and funny, but you failed...I just can't stand it when people try and bust out knowledge about a topic they are unfamiliar with! Can we institute a new level of more intelligent, funnier commentary from here on out? Anyone with me?

This is a prime example of modern jackass.

DAMNIT! I hit the damn button once! ONCE I TELL YOU! Fix this buggy shit ASAP Engadget or...I'll have to migrate to a competitor!
OneLove @ Jul 21st 2008 4:57PM
...not to be confused with the "postmodern" jackass...or any jackass that looks up definitions on urban dictionary :)
OneLove @ Jul 21st 2008 5:00PM
@Colin B : WTF? This is a prime example of modern jackass. :)
Colin B @ Jul 21st 2008 5:03PM
OneLove: I agree, it was a perfect way to sum up my point. Not sure if you thought I was being sarcastic, or what. Also...it shows 5 of the exact same comment of mine thanking Jason on my screen, and I'm tired of this crappy comment system. Does this not show up for everyone else?
thebigDallas @ Jul 21st 2008 5:07PM
your name is mr. tech and you have an automobile in your photo, and you don't know who makes the veyron?
jason @ Jul 21st 2008 5:13PM
wtf.. give back my name Jason!!!!!!!!

@jason (not Jason)
So what?
Drakie @ Jul 22nd 2008 3:01AM
Not too spoil everyones fun, but:
Volkswagen own both Bentley and Bugatti and so Mr. Tech was right in a way and has shown he knows something about cars.
krizoitz @ Jul 22nd 2008 3:17AM
Holy crap folks, you missed the PRIME comedic opportunity here. You have three comments that are exactly the same and you fail to rate them so one is highly ranked and one is low ranked. Opportunity squandered!
KarlW @ Jul 21st 2008 4:08PM
Looks like an iBook G4 (shape-wise)
kevinm @ Jul 21st 2008 4:13PM
You mean the colorful G3 ibooks? The ibook G4's were square white.
KarlW @ Jul 21st 2008 4:20PM
Oops, sorry - yes, I do mean the G3 iBooks.
Didn't like the shape then, don't really like it any better now.
Flashpoint @ Jul 21st 2008 6:18PM
IF, Apple were to design a laptop like this, I'm farely certain, these dumbass Manhattan Blondes would buy em - in the name of all that is fashion.
Furthermore, I haven't been even remotely interested in Bentley since VW bought them. VW made Bentley CHEAP. Anyone making assistant Principal salary can afford one (here in NYC) for around $800 a month.
I drive an S550 4-matic and I feel I've got the better car when I end up next to someone in a Continental GT.
jorvay @ Jul 21st 2008 8:46PM
I drive a Hyundai hatchback, and I feel I've got the better car when it comes to not letting a box on four wheels speak for me.
Decoy @ Jul 21st 2008 8:48PM
Only in that it is gaudy and overpriced.

We have finally reached the "reDONKulous" stage of laptops, my fellow readers.
helloUser @ Jul 21st 2008 4:16PM
I thought macbooks and iphones were meant to make you look so cool?
thatrotierkid @ Jul 21st 2008 4:22PM
no the word ur were thinking of is tool
i know they sound alike, we've all made that mistake before
EricR @ Jul 21st 2008 4:17PM
Just don't sit on it -- since it looks like a car seat and all.
icepop4who @ Jul 21st 2008 5:44PM
It's durable enough to be sat on by an european. An american on the other hand... well, it'd be ugly
Lowest Ranked @ Jul 21st 2008 6:34PM
Doesn't really get any uglier than this.
Or Europe for that matter.
ridahgadgetguy @ Jul 21st 2008 4:17PM
i own like 5 of those. :P:P
Mindfield @ Jul 21st 2008 4:19PM
That's no laptop. That's a purse. Sorry -- _murse_.
Bender @ Jul 21st 2008 4:25PM
i can buy a top of the line DELL XPS M1730 and still have enough
money left over for that corolla i've been needing so bad and maybe
even after that have enough money to buy enough gas to drive my
computer IN my corolla from the dealer to my house....well maybe i
won't be able to afford the gas but i would make better use of that
money godamn it! you have to be a total idiot to spend this kind of
money on a laptop with an odd shape, a zipper, and a logo!!!
CharlieX @ Jul 21st 2008 4:42PM
You're obviously not their target demographic.
collegekid13 @ Jul 21st 2008 4:25PM
thats the fugliest laptop i've ever seen
Doug @ Jul 21st 2008 4:55PM
I concur.

Tony Bowman @ Jul 21st 2008 4:29PM
bleh.
now if it was an id or even a super-ego laptop, i might be interested...
Willis @ Jul 21st 2008 4:33PM
I was wondering how long it'd take the krauts to make Bentley jump the shark. "Vat is ziss "understated class" ov vich you speak?"
Rick @ Jul 21st 2008 4:38PM
If you have to ask the price you can't afford it!
thedesolate1 @ Jul 21st 2008 4:38PM
In the ferrari drop top switchin 4 lanes
With the bentely laptop bag
money aint a
thang!
rock99rock @ Jul 21st 2008 4:43PM
Spammah!!!
farfisa @ Jul 21st 2008 4:47PM
Too bad it's so expensive--grandma might like it.
toxicpiano @ Jul 21st 2008 4:48PM
this is obviously for the kind of arsehole that wears a blue shirt with white collar and buys a porsche jacket to go with his porsche
Roger @ Jul 21st 2008 4:51PM
Holy crap! £10K? it better do my house cleaning and make food for me!
Gaurav Sharma @ Jul 21st 2008 4:52PM
will this run office and messenger? because that's all i need. i have lots of money so want to spend it on a good laptop with leather and golden handslip for that reassuring prestigious feel. will this be a good fit for my aquantences with members of the royal family if i do have the fortune of being in their honor perhaps? methinks this makes a mighty fine addition to our collection of fine works, i really do. by golly, if i must say so myself.
Phoenix987 @ Jul 21st 2008 4:53PM
And you know the sad thing about this?
Someone, somewhere, will spend the ungodly amount of money on it, just to say they have one.
Boarderwoot @ Jul 21st 2008 5:07PM
What they failed to mention is that your purchase of this fine machine will include a mandatory donation of 90 OLPC's to the third world country of your choice.
Wireless Buddy @ Jul 21st 2008 5:12PM
The name of the company is a perfect fit.
jason @ Jul 21st 2008 5:18PM
Imagine how sweet of a desktop you could build with that...
or you could rent ben heck to build you a super duper slim laptop or something.
rishi @ Jul 21st 2008 5:41PM
Oh. My. God. Scarred for life.
augustjl @ Jul 21st 2008 5:53PM
Apple iBook clamshell with a bentley.
baaaaddddddd mix :[
digitallysick @ Jul 21st 2008 6:04PM
For 19,000.00 dollars it better be able to convert a 800+ meg avi file to dvd in less than 1min.
blackf0rk @ Jul 21st 2008 7:14PM
Then I'd totally buy it!
