I would love to see a well executed Aston Martin or Bugatti Veyron laptop though :-) The Veyron would have to be a something along the lines of a 10Ghz dual quad-core (yes, thats 8 cores!). I think you'll be struggling with that WUXGA screen on the 15" Macbook Pro. Your poor eyes!

Do laptops now run at 3GHz horsepower? Can I get custom low-ridin suspensions when I pimp my notebook? Compaq clearly missed an opportunity with the Camaro though and a certain robot-film tie in. Two words. Transforming laptop. I'm still opting for a macbook pro come mid-Oct. Here's hoping they release a 15" with 1920 x 1200 display!!
