    How about we leave cows alone and kill some brushed stainless steel for this laptop. (The most underappreciated of hides.)

    I'm on the fence - it does look pretty ugly, but perhaps if they'd started with a nicer looking machine to begin with it wouldn't look so bad. I wouldn't mind having a nice leather skin rather than shiny black plastic on my netbook.

    @92BuickLeSabre: I'd actually prefer baby seal, but bald eagle will work too.

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: You and I aren't thinking outside of the box here! We don't have to choose! Elephant for the outside - tough and long lasting, subtle use of baby seal for the wrist pads, where it should be soft and cuddly. And then the detail work can be done with the nice, lighter leather of the Bald Eagle.


    I smell profit!


    (Or maybe that's just the puppy livers I'm prepping for dinner.)

    enjoy the puppy, I'll just be relaxing in my polar bear footy PJs (the trick is to keep the head as a hoody)

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: Oooh, that's nice.


    Not to pry, but is that made from scooped-up drowned polar bear? Or from a fresh kill? I've heard that the it makes a difference in the quality of the hide's underside.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Oh fresh kill is the only way to go. The blood is a little tougher to get out of the hide but the drowned ones just aren't as soft. Some will tell you the drowned ones retain more heat but that's just not true.

    Thanks to Apple's block of aluminum concept, one cow was carved into this Eee PC. Wasteful, yes, but in both cases you are left with a bloody impressive manufacturing process.

    Actually, the cow died to make tasty burgers, steaks, beef jerky, eventually leftovers for cat and dog food, and then what was left is surrounding this EeePC.

    That's disgusting. It makes me flash back to my dad's old folios from work.


    Well, at least it wasn't draped in gold LV knockoff leather.
