An ugly laptop is a mystery, by today’s standards. Hundreds of people develop, improve and polish the design of any product, so when an ugly laptop is launched, it always makes us wonder how this could possibly happen. Tastes certainly differ, but you never expect them to differ so dramatically. Anyway, let’s take a look at our Top five.

5. Lenovo Olympics Limited Edition Laptop

It seems that the Chinese are so proud of hosting forthcoming Olympics that building several impressive monumental sport venues was just not good enough for them. However, while the design of their National Aquatics Center or National Stadium is breathtaking, Lenovo’s laptop leaves much to be desired.

4. XO Laptop

Although creating a cheap laptop for children from developing countries is a commendable idea, the laptop looks as if it was made not for Third World countries, but for Another Galaxy ones. We of course understand that the aim of the developers was to cut down expenses, but the laptop does look odd anyway.

3. Augmentix XTG630

Augmentix laptop reminds of the laptops of the late 80’s era. But as this laptop is capable of operating in extreme conditions and is the choice of the military, we can forgive the designers its prehistoric look.

2. Dell XPS 1730

Being a gaming laptop, Dell XPS 1730 doesn’t look business-like, and it’s a plus. But if all gaming laptops looked like that, this world would be a very scaryplace to live in.

1. Xbox 360 Elite laptop

Here comes number 1, the elite laptop beast. To be fair, turning Xbox into an Xbox laptop was a minefield of design difficulties, and it showed. The laptop is so ugly, the design cannot be taken seriously, it is just one huge prank. Hats off to the designer Ben Heck.
