Laptop for the Hummer crowd

[pdanev]

From news.com:

General Motors has signed an exclusive three-year licensing agreement with Itronix to make a semi-ruggedized portable computer styled after the Hummer. Priced at $2,988, the laptops come with enough padding to survive six separate drops from a height of 30 inches onto two 3/4-inch sheets of plywood placed on top of concrete.

The Hummer laptop comes in black and silver with yellow, red or pewter-gray trim. Its battery lasts a little more than four hours; a battery extender pushes that to about seven hours.The Hummer laptop will be available at car dealerships that sell Hummer products or online at the GM-approved Web site Hummerstuff.com starting Nov. 1.

Who is going into a car dealership to buy a laptop......!

General Motors lost an average of $1,227 per vehicle sold in North America during the first half of 2005, the most of any U.S. automaker, according to an industry analyst report out Tuesday.

After the Ferrari laptop and this Hummer laptop, it's only a matter of time untill we see a Skoda / Lada Laptop. With Pentium II processor, 64mb or ram, a stunning 3 Gb hard drive and of course a 55.6k modem.
