MSI Crystal M677

Looking like a prototype from the so far unscreened pilot of Pimp My Laptop, MSI's M677 Crystal Edition brings tech and bling together by embedding 120 Swarovski jewels into the lid of a not too shabby laptop. Spec-wise it's not bad with a fast-ish processor, sufficient RAM, oodles of disk space and a large 15.4in screen. But this laptop is more about the outsides than the innards, its glossy piano black finish set with a circle of glimmering crystals. Sometimes you'll need to open it up to do some work, but most of the time you'll probably want to just gaze at it from afar. Minimize
