Quantum of Solace VAIO Laptop for idiot spies

007lappie.jpg

What you are looking at is Sony’s new Vaio TT Series Notebook. It’s a tiny thing, with an 11.1″ widescreen display. 2GB of RAM, a 64GB Solid Date Drive and HDMI out.

Where confusion sets in: Sony is marketing this as a laptop meant for a super spy, with a highly visible “007″ branding on both the inside and outside of the case. Because nothing signifies “covert intelligence” more than a fist-sized numerical designation that is considered universally synonymous with “I AM A SPY.”

Even if that weren’t the case, surely James Bond would consider walking around carrying a laptop with his name written on it just dreadfully gauche, the sort of thing that separates a suassive he-man like him from M’s nepotistically-hired nephew, Double Oh 12, who always walks around MI6 with a labeled thermos under his arm and his mittens pinned to his chest.

    ah but that’s what they’d want you to think. Real spies could walk round with all this stuff and no-one would ever suspect them of actually working for Her Magesties Secret Service.

    frankly, other who else is going to spend that cash on a netbook.

    Bond would have left his on the tube on the way home after a couple too many Martinis. That’s OK though, Gordon Brown says it is.

  3. Joe Killian says:

    This kind of thing is really the difference between Daniel Craig’s Bond and Roger Moore’s.

    I can definitely imagine Roger Moore’s Bond carrying around a laptop with his number on it like a monogram.

    Hell, when the Bond series originally jumped the shark with “Diamonds are Forever” they had Sean Connery carrying around a Playboy Club card with his own name on it.

    it will be easy to make Quantum of Solace spoofs… every where this Bond goes he breaks glass, he can’t get a gallon of milk from the store without it turning into a chase scene, and every time he punches someone in the face, they die http://www.kogmedia.com
