Carbotron makes laptop cases out of sleek and expensive carbon fiber. There’s a waiting list for any of the sizes on offer. Why? Because in a world where hundreds of supposedly hard cases exist, this one is the real deal:
This product’s primary objective is durability, and if structural integrity is not compromised by an imperfection, we believe it adds character, and leave it in.
And yet, it is beautiful.
[Thanks, Ian!]
P.S. When they remake Robocop they should make him carbon fiber. That would be cool. And they should bring back Paul Verhoeven and Peter Weller. That is all. Thank you.
I love it! It would also be fun to make your own; Make had an article on DIY carbon fiber a couple issues ago. I’m sure it wouldn’t be as good as this case, but it would be pretty enjoyable.
heh, the company i used to work for had yards and yards of carbon fiber fabric in two different pattern weaves. pretty bitchin’ stuff.
i love how light weight it is. i also like how it looks after multiple coats of clear varnish have been applied.
