Honorable Mentions
Acer Ferrari 1100
PRICE: $1,999
The first laptop we'll be talking about today is going to be the Acer Ferrari 1100. And as you can tell from the name, this is a collaboration between Acer and Ferrari, a globally renowned car brand which definitely contributes to the price tag. The laptop comes with an AMD Turion 64 X2TL-66 processor. The AMD Turion 64 comes with a dual-core setup and up to 2.3GHz of performance which makes it a high performance laptop.
If only the Acer Ferrari 1100 was as fast as the car brand, it could've been considered the 'fastest' laptop around. If you catch my drift.
One of the highlights of the laptop has to be the black carbon-fiber chassis with the Ferrari logo adorning the center. The price is almost certainly reflected on the intricate, sophisticated design that Ferrari is often known for. The laptop also features a 4GB RAM memory, a 250GB hard drive, a 12-inch HD display and 802.11 Wi-fi connection.
Dell M6400
Price: $2,599
Next up, we've got a pretty powerful laptop for the time thanks to its identity in the workstation laptop category. It's no surprise considering that it features some pretty impressive specs on board the Dell M6400 laptop including an Intel Core 2 Extreme or Intel Core 2 Quad-core processor, 16 GB RAM memory, a 128 GB SSD storage, an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M graphics card and a towering 17-inch WUXGA LED screen with a 1920 x 1200 display resolution.
This laptop came out at a time where you needed a laptop like this to do some heavy lifting, and ensured high-speed performance for tasks like video editing, gaming, and other graphics heavy programs.
The Dell M6400 laptop is built for the professional creative to ensure consistent, high-speed performance. The combination of one of the better Intel Core 2 Quad-Core processor and NVIDIA Quadro graphics card made it a staple for those looking for a well-built, performing workstation laptops.
10 Most Expensive Laptops In The World
Now that we've seen some of the honorable mentions, let's take a look at some of the most expensive laptops in the world and what they have to offer.
10. Alienware Area 51 M15X
Price: $5,000
The first laptop in our search for the most expensive laptop in the world is going to be a dependable gaming laptop, the Alienware Area 51 M15X. Alienware has long been regarded as one of the top tier gaming laptops in the world, so it's no surprise the Alienware Area 51 M15X gets a spot on the list. Since it's a gaming laptop, the reason for the hefty price tag is the dependable internal specs on this laptop.
The Area 51 M15X features an Intel Core-2 Extreme X9000 processor, 3 GB RAM memory, 200GB hard disk storage, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 8800M graphics, Wi-Fi 4 support, and a 15.4-inch WUXGA screen with a 1920 x 2000 display resolution.
This a pretty expensive laptop considering the prices of gaming laptops at the time. Since this is one of the only laptops on the list that features an NVIDIA GeForce GTX dedicated graphics card, it's one of the best gaming experience in the expensive laptops category.
9. Rock Xtreme SL8
Price: $5,500
Next up is another powerful gaming laptop well known for its high performance internals, the Rock Xtreme SL8. This beastly performer features the Intel Core-2 Quad Q9550 processor, 8 GB RAM memory, 256GB SSD storage and a 17-inch WUXGA screen with a 1920 x 1200 display resolution. You'll notice that the Rock Xtreme SL8 is slightly bulky, but it's to be expected considering that it is a gaming laptop.
Otherwise though, the laptop is an excellent performer, but I'm just not too sure if its $5,500 excellent though.
Either way, there's a reason that it's an expensive laptop and should serve gamers well in their pursuit of the best of the best in graphical performance.
8. Stealth MacBook Pro
Price: $5,999
We couldn't talk about the most expensive laptop in the world without mentioning the king of the category, Apple and the MacBook Pro lineup. This version is slightly different though, and it's known as the Stealth MacBook Pro and it's a limited edition version of the (already) expensive laptop.
The Stealth MacBook Pro is customized by Colorware and features an all-black MacBook Pro with zero gloss finish and SofTouch coating to enhance the touch and feel of the laptop.
The laptop also features a 15-inch screen Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM memory and a 256 GB SSD storage space. Apple has always been an expensive brand to get into, but this version takes the cake and it'll cost you a sweet 6 grand for the unique, limited edition experience.
7. Lenovo ThinkPad W700DS
Price: $8,000
The Lenovo ThinkPad W700DS is the next expensive laptop on the list and goes for a hefty $8,000. This is a workstation laptop which contributes to the price, but what makes the Lenovo ThinkPad W700DS truly an expensive laptop is the additional 10.6-inch display hidden within the laptop chassis. This is addition to the already massive 17-inch WUXGA LCD display, but results in a heftier experience than most.
The laptop also features an Intel Core 2 Extreme Q9300 processor, 4GB RAM memory, 259 GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce Quadro FX 3700M GPU.
Out of the most expensive laptops we've seen so far, this has to be one of the thickest, and heaviest thanks to that additional screen. It's definitely not the most portable laptop in the world, but should work itself out well as a desktop replacement.
6. Voodoo Envy H171
Price: $8,500
The next laptop featured on the list is brand well-known for speccing their laptops with the absolute most. This is none other than the Voodoo Envy H171 from HP and not only does it have some hard hitting performance, but it's got quite the look as well. When it originally released, you could choose from up to 24 different designs to truly make the experience unique, a brand staple at the time.
But it doesn't compromise on performance either housing a 17-inch wide-screen display, a Core 2 Extreme x6800, 4GB RAM memory, a 160 GB hard disk drive and a dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950.
The Voodoo Envy H171 will cost you upwards of $5,000, maxing out at the $8,500 price tag making it quite the expensive laptop. I can see the appeal of making a truly 'unique' experience with superb specs adorning the internals and this laptop brand delivers it well.
5. Ego for Bentley
Price: $20,000
From here on out, we start to get in the category of the truly expensive laptop lineups for the lavish and elites. And boy, this next laptop is quite a step up with a whopping $20,000, and is none other than the Ego for Bentley laptop. It's no surprise considering the brand power of Bentley that the laptop they release comes with the hefty price.
But there's another reason this laptop costs that much, and it's thanks to the unique handbag style of the device. There's also a hand-crafted diamond stitched leather back, a chrome handle and white gold around the Bentley logo. I mean, what other than white gold would be fitting for this right?
You'll also find an AMD TurionTM 64 mobile processor, 2 gigs of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive and a 12-inch wide-screen. But I have a feeling people picking this up don't really care about specs.
4. 24 Karat Gold MacBook
Price: $30,000
Our next featured laptop has a blatantly obvious reason why it's considered one of the most expensive laptop in the world, and it's because it's literally encased in gold. This laptop is the 24 Karat Gold MacBook and is a customized 2013 MacBook Pro from Computer Choppers. There's 24 Karat Gold all around the casing and chassis, and the rest of the parts were at least painted to match.
The Apple logo also is encrusted with 53 diamonds adding in to the expensiveness of the laptop.
The rest of the specs are a pretty standard MacBook Pro including a 15-inch display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB RAM and a 160GB HDD.
3. Tulip E Go Diamond
Price: $355,000
Stepping into the utter ridiculous price range, our next laptop will cost you upwards of $300,000, and it's called the Tulip E Go Diamond. This is one of the most expensive laptops in the world, and is similar to the earlier mentioned Bentley laptop as it comes in a form factor resembling a handbag. The laptop is adorned with palladium white gold plates with a few thousand diamonds all around.
The logo on the laptop also features a square cut ruby which in the Tulip logo, contributing to the exorbitant pricing.
Other than that though, the laptop specs leave a lot to be desired rocking a 12-inch WXGA screen, AMD Turion processor, 2GB RAM and a 160 GB hard drive.
2. Luvaglio
Price: $1 Million
Taking an even bigger jump in pricing, our next device is going to be a 1 million dollar laptop known as the Luvaglio. 1 million dollars, who doesn't have that lying around right? This exquisite piece comes from a British brand named Luvaglio and one of the biggest draws to the Luvaglio 1 Million laptop is the rare diamond on the power button. The rest of the laptop body is customizable to your taste, but you're going to need to be personally invited by brand director, Rohan Sinclair., to even think of buying one.
This is the epitome of expensive and exclusivity and for good reason.
Otherwise, the laptop features a 17-inches LCD display, a Blu-Ray player, and a 128 GB SSD.
1. MJ's Swarovski & Diamond Studded Notebook
Price: $3.5 Million
Last, but certainly not least, the last laptop on the list, topping the top 10 most expensive laptops in the world list is the truly exorbitant, over the top, MJ's Swarovski & Diamond Studded Notebook. MJ's Swarovski & Diamond Studded Notebook will set you back a cheap, low low price of $3.5 million. The laptop was designed and created by Ukrainian art studio, MJ who are globally renowned for their intricated, designer and luxury pieces.
You'll find the laptop is adorned with hundreds, if not thousands of white and black diamonds atop a gold-plated body. Considering the extravagance, you're really not buying this laptop for the spec sheet like RAM and the processor. In fact, there's barely any information about it. But I'm sure that won't stop the top 1% delving deep in their pockets to flex on the rest of us.
Conclusion
We've now seen the most extravagant, exquisite, and sometimes outright ridiculous most expensive laptops of all time. Now, do I expect anybody to actually take the time and money to buy these? I don't know, you'd be surprised honestly.
I personally wouldn't even think or dream of getting anything that costs more than $2,000, but hey, I guess that's what differentiates me and the upper echelons of society, isn't it?
Nonetheless, it definitely was an interesting look for people who want to know more about these crazy devices. Who am I to judge?
