Some of the most stylish laptops ever designed

For a laptop, design is not less important than its hardware insides, as any industrial designer will testify. People are ready to pay high premium for so-called “high-tech beauties”. That is why stylish and unusual laptops can be sold much faster than “standard” ones. Moreover, designers add some new features even in budget laptop models in a bid to attract additional buyers.
For example, Acer maintains this trend in such popular model like Ferrari, Fujitsu implements it in LifeBook, Toshiba surprises us with Qosmio, etc.
The first thing that manufacturers use in such laptops is an unusual laptop body and well-chosen color combinations. They try to crack the access code into customers’ hearts, finding courageous colors, hues and nuances. They also try to replace standard plastic laptop bodies with titanium ones or use special mixtures to give them more shine and protect from mechanical damage. So, those who want to buy a stylish notebook and express their individuality always can find something special.
The world’s leading portable PC manufacturers experiment with new materials (processed plastic, precious wood, stones and metals). People want to stand out from the crowd, be different from each other and it plays into the hands of many companies. For example, one of the Arab sheikhs ordered a laptop with inlays from ivory. Just imagine how much it cost him!
Laptops have become a part of our everyday live; it’s not a surprise to anyone. But you can impress others, putting a high-tech gadget in an unusual body. So, let’s feast our eyes upon other stylish laptops:

Fashion Week For a Geek
Christine | 11:20 am | May 7, 2008 | Laptop Accessories
The good thing about modern industrial designers is that some of them are brave enough to realize and present the wildest of their ideas. And it’s even more amazing how exactly they do it: with utmost seriousness, not giving a hint of childish excitement.
One example is “Beauty and the Geek” jeans, which is an incredible combination of a pair of jeans, a keyboard, a joystick controller and a pocket for a mouse (which is the only thing that seems to be more or less normal). The product, however, looks more like a fake. If it’s not, I am impressed by the unbelievable self-confidence of the author Erik De Nijs.
Another example of the idea that is supposed to be taken seriously is Body-Technology Interfaces. The name sounds very intelligent, but the actual product looks way too futuristic, not to say silly.
Le Bag, I Love You

At first sight, J’tote seems to be a French brand. Apart from the French-sounding name, these laptop bags themselves look so elegant and so touching, that we can’t think of any other country that could possibly produce anything similar.
But, curiously enough, J’tote was launched in the US. Still, there’s something French about these bags. We are not sure if the brand owes it to the design, gentle material or mysterious names such as Aoife (meaning “beautiful” or “radiant”) or Alannah (meaning “darling child”) that each bag bears, but nevertheless J’tote is far ahead of all its competitors, they create not just ladies laptop bags, but wonderful accessories to spice up any outfit.

Eight Hot Colours For Your Laptop Bag
Christine | 7:21 pm | February 19, 2008 | Laptop Bags
Each season of the year has its colour: winters are white, summers are red, the colour of autumn is yellow and the one of spring is green. Each fashion season has its colour too. But while we all know that snow makes winter white and fading leaves paint autumn yellow, it is completely incomprehensible what makes a colour dominate a fashion season. For example, the fashion world has seen a grey craze and an orange boom, but no-one knows why. What goes with the fashion today may be totally forgotten tomorrow, and according to Pantone Colour Institute, there are 10 major colours of spring 2008. We think that this concerns laptop “apparel” too, so here’s our collection of ladies’ laptop bags that may be in this spring.
Pink
Suede is never unfashionable, pink seems to be an-all time hit too, so it was a canny gimmick to combine these two things.
Olive + Red
It’s just a nice modest bag with plenty of pockets.
Green
Tired of plain colours? This bag looks quite refreshing, a perfect spring accessory.
Red
Red is another universal colour, and this spring the red colour is deep and mat. A striped version of the bag is also available, each stripe representing a fashionable colour of this spring: green, grey, dark yellow, blue.
Cantaloupe
If you are not quite sure what the word “cantaloupe” used by Pantone means, you could take a look at this bag – its soft colour is very similar to the colour of a cantaloupe muskmelon. The bag is available in some other hit colours, such as green and silver grey.
Silver grey
The grey colour is cold, and silver grey is even colder. But the bag looks so stylish that it does warm one’s heart.
Crocus
Champs-Élysées is not only the avenue in
Blue
“You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes”, sang Carl Perkins half a century ago.
If I were the owner of this blue suede bag, I’d probably say to the people who’d ever attempted to touch it to stay away. Suede is never unfashionable, you see.
8 Ways To Make a Recyclable Laptop Bag

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Hippies may be accused of libertinism, drug-abuse and sexual perversion, but what they try to teach the world is that the nature is our treasure. Wearing synthetic clothes, eating artificially made food, driving cars with high levels of toxic gases emission we can hardly call ourselves flower children.
However, while hippies’ methods of struggling for nature protection were mostly expressed by boycotting ecology-unfriendly products and promoting biodegradable products, some consumer goods manufacturers take action nowadays and introduce a range of eco-friendly products.
Let’s take laptop bags, for instance. It’s hard to believe how different recyclable materials for making laptop bags can be:
Though the bag may be a bit inconvenient to use as there’s not much space left when a laptop is inside, the bag looks very stylish.
Quite a clumsy one, but seems to be soft and have enough space.
The bag looks as if it was made from durable fabric, besides, it is stain-resistant.
It’s impossible to tell a common laptop bag from one of these recycled ones. And if there’s no difference, why not go for an eco-friendly one.
Teenagers will like it. As well as hippies.
These bags are handmade and thanks to the handmade nature, they are unique since they all vary a bit in size and shape.
This one even allows to access ports without removing the laptop from the bag.
Sails of decommissioned yachts
Sails is probably the last thing that would come to one’s mind when thinking of recyclable materials. Which, however, doesn’t make the bag look less trendy.

“Portable Placentas” Laptop Bags
maksim | 3:16 am | December 3, 2007 | Laptop Accessories
Bordering on natural and the artificial, the SkinBag laptop bags are guaranteed to turn heads and probably some stomachs too. They are described by some as “portable placentas”, with straps resembling umbilical cords. However, initial discomfort is replaced with irrational fascination after the first touch. The skin feels unusually pleasant and appealing. It is ugly and beautiful at the same time. Much in the same way a human skin is.
