Banana Market


Latest Hello Kitty Laptop and other Laptop Skins for Guys.

Laptops are so affordable nowadays that almost everyone owns one. With broadband wireless connection accessible at the ubiquitous McDonald and Starbucks all over Singapore, it is common to see at least 2 tables on random with laptops. The progressive affordability of laptops (some are even free like my IBM Thinkpad) and broader access points for wireless connection are turning business mind on to reposition a working tool to become a lifestyle product.

Ditch the professional look. Laptops bags no longer come in just classic black but an array of colors and designs. I saw one with Mickey Mouse's recognisable ears printed in tiles pattern. Regrettably, cute stuffs are always designed with the lady's market in mind. If not for its slick, girlie handles, I would have carried Mickey with me. But the mouse is beaten by a kitten. Naturally. Both in the animal kingdom and the business world. I am talking about the world's most famous cartoon kitten - Hello Kitty. NEC collaborated with Sanrio Corp to produce the latest Hello Kitty laptop, crowned with 299 Swarovski crystals. Operating on Windows Vista, a 100GB hard disk drive and a 1GB memory, the gorgeous jewel-box computer is eyeing the working women. It went on sale on 6 June, 2007 in Japan and the cute cat had a day of debauchery with her female admirers. Did I sense a lesbian beastiality here? Just kidding. Who really care about its system specification when it is so seductively covered up? Priced at 199,500 yen (SGD2,498.00/USD1,623.00), you decide if flirting with the kitten is worth your dollars.
