If you think you have one of the most expensive notebooks in the world, perhaps you didn’t know HP recently sold just two laptops at a price that could buy a decent house. Before you conclude that this is outrageous, you should know that these are not regular laptops you can find on the shelf everywhere.
HP has revealed that it’s two gold- and diamond-encrusted laptops have been sold for over $60,000 but no one knows how much each costs. The identity of the buyers too were not revealed. The two Spectre 13.3 laptops were custom modified and designed with gold, diamond and Swarovski crystals. The design was done by renowned artists Jess Hannah and Tors Boontje.
The laptops were auctioned at the Cannes Film Festival this week and proceeds from the auction will go into charity. The main beneficiary is the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
The specifications of the sold laptops too are not revealed but they are likely Core i7 Skylake computers. We recently took a look at the recently released Spectre 13 called “the world’s thinnest notebook” but we don’t know if the specifications are based on it.
