X2 – Ladies love pink laptops (with matching bags!)

Taking a page from the Nokia 7200 playbook, X2 has created a small,
light laptop aimed at women that will come with a matching laptop case
designed to look like a “sheik” (we think they mean “chic”) handbag.
The laptops feature a 12.1 inch widescreen LCD, 802.11 b/g, and full
size keyboard but still weighs under 4 pounds. It looks similar to an
iBook (why, we’ve never…), but in easter egg pastels. Each laptop
comes with its own special bag that will match or color coordinate in
materials like suede and fake croc skin. Neither the laptops nor the
bags are all that bad, but we suspect most fashionistas would rather
buy her bag from Kate Spade or whoever and then get her laptop painted
to match. It’s already a booming business in Japan, so maybe someone
will open up a shop to do it stateside?

I love it! I was talked into getting a Toshiba laptop with a great features and
a very good price but it's BLUE...and I'm not a blue person. Not a day goes by
that I regret not going with my instincts and gotten a silver or black one.
That pink one sure looks tempting too. Next time. Another example of buy what
you love...
