Oh vanity, thy name is some rich motorist bastard. Or just plainly some rich bastard. Presenting another one of those useless inventions of all time - a Bentley laptop. Oh and spare us that “closest thing you can get to driving a Bentley” quip. I mean, sure, the rest of humankind wouldn’t be able own (or even ride) a Bentley unless we all get a lot of money to burn, but who would want a Bentley laptop produced by Ego.
The specs aren’t even drool worthy - 64-bit CPU with a 160 GB hard drive that runs on Windows F*cking Vista? For £10,000 ($19,920), you’d better off buying seven 17-inch MacBook Pros with that kind of money. The Acer Ferrari and the Asus Lamborghini packed more bang than this thing and those don’t cost a fortune!
I have to agree with Autoblog in their take that it looks like it’s a spiffed up George Forman Grille, because it does. Only it comes with custom stitching and a carrying handle inspired by a Bentley door handle.

After wowing us by driving the oozing-with-sex-appeal Aston Martin DBS in the movie Casino Royale, everyone’s favorite British spy will go back to driving a Bentley. Not for the movies though, but for the new novel Devil May Care.
Written by Sebastian Faulks, the book commemorates the centenary of the birth of Bond creator Ian Fleming. With this, Faulks brings 007 back to the car that he originally drove - the Bentley.
The new novel is set in 1967 at the height of the Cold war. The plot’s kept secret but word has it that the Bentley will be ‘battleship grey’ which is the same color of the Bentley driven by Bond in the Casino Royale novel. Further speculation says that it might be a T-series probably the T1 (pictured, manufactured by Bentley from 1965 to 1977.
If rumor is true, then 007 will be plowing the roads with some good old V8 powerhouse in a Bentley. James May owns a T2 though. So would that make this Bond car “Seriously Uncool” on the Cool Wall?
