M.2 storage drives.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. :P

Alienware, Apple, prebuilts (usually consist of 4790k, dominator platinums, ROG Extreme, GTX 750 and costs ~2000$), beats, Intel SSDs, Titans, video games (I mean the ones for 60$ that everyone just uses G2A or pirates anyway) xD

ANNDDDDDDDD.....

Panera Bread (in USA) does that count? lol

People buy $100k watches, so for those people, the AW isn't bad.

 

To even consider it being a consumer product is stupid, because it's marketed to a much more wealthy class of citizens.

But lets be honest, if youre really wealthy and want to show youve got a lot of class, what would you be spending near $20K on? A little smart watch or a Rolex?

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

If I had the money I'd want a smartwatch over a Rolex...

 

Point is, if they sold 10 Editions they wouldn't exactly be hurting.

I'd say the Lamborghini smart phone (IT HAS FRICKIN CROCODILE SKIN ON THE BACK!) 

That is so unfathomably hideous... gold and black is horridly gaudy. Second only to Samsung's gold and BROWN S5.

Gold and brown look good depending on the quantity of each colour..

No I only drink coffee lol, and my point exactly about gold an brown, depending on the gold to brown ratio it can look rather good. ;)

A good pair of skate shoes is too pricey considering they are all manufactured in china.. *checks the DVS shoes on my feet.. Yup china* (yes there's tech that goes in to developing shoes more than you know.)

Was that the place linus went tech shopping in Singapore?

Yeah, but the shipping costs increase the prices (I think or there is another reason)

Half the time it's cheaper to buy stuff in the UK and have it shipped over. Not to mention they have like no watercooling stuff..
