Swarovski crystals are poor man’s bling for gadgets, you know it’s for those of us who can’t afford actually sticking diamonds on our gadgets. The MSI Megabook S300-008US is a a thin and light 4.8 pound notebook with a ring of 120 in-laid Austrian Swarovski crystals on its shiny black cover. A 13.3″ inch screen, 120gb hard drive and a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo hard drive complete the package. Computer Shopper reviewed the Megabook and gave it a 6.0 rating, with a big complaint about the $1499 price tag. But isn’t that how all the gadgets with bling are? Throw some crystals on and somehow companies think they can get away with asking for more money.
