    Shopping spree / Monday challenge II

    I have set you a challenge, to see if you can purchase cooler stuff for £4500, all in such neat sexy packages. Obviously whatever I buy needs to have the cool factor, and I do not care for windows like hardware or else I'll start wearing my mobile in a special pouch attached to my belt, which can be totally avoided by not being a tight git.

    rMBP a snap @ £2,819.00

    iPhone 5s £709 (hello, they were practically given them away)

    fuji x100s - amazing camera at somewhere around £1000 (does anyone care?)

    So total in this picture is around £4500, bargain.

    Since you have £4.5K worth of equipment in that pic with each item having a camera on it, what did you use to take the pic?

        Well an Air is at least as cool, probably cooler, than a MBP. So I saved you a grand already.

          £350 (London Camera Exchange)



          £3000, cos I spent the other £700 on DIY robotics (well actually I only managed £400 or so before I got bored...)

          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Sorry but you can't seriously claim a ThinkPad is cool?

                I do cool stuff with it. That makes it cool.

                  It's very not cool.

                  I tend to think Dell & ThinkPad owners look like:
