Handcrafted stuff

5000$ is a bit much for a computer... But this Lenovo Thinkpad looks nice.
(I do wonder about how user friendly it is though. It doesn't seem to be an easy to use this keyboard.)
The attractive part of this computer lies in its design, but also in the impression they give you you'll have 'one unique piece', handcrafted, with leather gone through a men's hands.
This 'uniqueness' also can be found in the fact you'll need a password to enter the site. You are selected or you are not...

As I am browsing several sites a day, I am stunned by the amount of 'hand crafted luxury' that is being offered today. It certainly looks like the anti-movement, against industrialization. Puma, Nike, and many more, turning a mass product into a luxurious product, and giving you the impression an Italian leather craftsmen is making your piece.
While that's just the advertisement of course :)

I guess we have come to the moment where we want to be different from the mass again, and as we are high profiled consumers, we have the budget to spend.
