HP Maybach ns42 - the Luxury Ultra-Portable Notebook

Hewlett Packard is to unveil its HP Maybach ns42 luxury ultra-portable laptop, created in collaboration with Maybach car maker’s designers, the Russian Tech2.ru website reports.

“The frame is decorated with genuine leather and classic Maybach labels. Sensory buttons with amber-colored highlight are disposed under the touchpad. Configuration is not certain, but the new model is supplied with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, built in 64GB solid-state drive and video adapter (presumably GeForce Go 7 or 8 series),” according to Tech2.ru, which has also provided the pictures of the HP Maybach ns42.

It is also reported that the luxury sub-notebook weighs three pounds. There is no information on notebook’s screen size, but the pictures show it has the standard 4:3 screen, contrary to majority of modern widescreen laptops. The full HP Maybach package contains special case for transportation, Bluetooth mouse and additional battery.

“The price is unannounced yet, but to all appearance it will work out at not less than $4000,” the report says.
