Lenovo Thinkpad W700DS (approx Rs 2,10,000)
This laptop is ideal for engineers who can use its additional pull-out display to run multiple programs. Its regular screen is a massive 17 inches, making this laptop rather inconvenient to lug around. It comes with 4 GB RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, and all the other bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end Thinkpad.
However, for the money you'd spend on this dual screen laptop, you'd be able to (almost) buy two Tata Nanos!
Alienware Area 51 (approx Rs 2,10,000)
For over a decade, this computer has been on the wishlist of gamers everywhere. Its latest version comes with a core 2 duo processor and a 1 TB hard drive. Its video capabilities include an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT in dual SLI configuration and 1 GB of graphics memory. The machine's designed to run even the most demanding of games with ease, and it's really the ultimate portable device for gamers.
As always, the best part about the Area 51 is the radical Alienware design that never fails to impress
Rock Xtreme SL8 (approx Rs 2,30,000)
When it comes to the ultimate gaming experience on a laptop, it's a toss up between this and the Alienware Area 51. With 8GB of RAM and a Core 2 Quad Extreme processor, the SL8 packs quite a punch. It also sports a Nvidia 9800 GT video card with 1 GB of memory to give you exactly what you need as you play some of the most graphically advanced PC games

Ego for Bentley (approx Rs 10,00,000)
Shaped like a fancy handbag, this laptop is aimed at wealthy women, or women with wealthy husbands! This is, more than anything else, a fashion statement, and not some new-age gizmo that's going to set you apart from the mere mortals around you. It has a 160 GB hard disk and 2 GB RAM.
Basically, all you get for the big gaping hole in your pocket is a Bentley logo and leather on a laptop that looks like a cross between a ladies' purse and a clamshell iBook
Tulip E-Go Diamond (approx Rs 1,60,00,000)
It took us a while to count those zeros too! This is a ridiculously expensive laptop that's meant for vanity purposes only! It's made of solid palladium/white gold plates that are set with thousands of 80 carat, brilliant-cut diamonds. The laptop's Tulip logos are made with rubies. As expected, its hardware is nothing to write home about, with a 160GB hard disk and 2 GB RAM.
So if you're looking to buy a laptop as an investment in precious metals and gems, you should put this one on your list to check out
Luvaglio (approx Rs 4,50,00,000)
Luvaglio a.k.a 'the million dollar laptop' is a made-to-order laptop from a British company that only caters to the tech needs of a privileged few. This hand-crafted laptop also happens to be the first self-cleaning notebook in the market, and it has some "functional" bits of jewellery as well. As far as its technical features are concerned, this computer has a 128GB Solid State Drive, built-in USB support and Blu-Ray among other standard features.
The jury's still out on whether this laptop actually exists--no one's seen any sign of it since it was announced over a year ago. Some believe that this was just a publicity stunt to draw attention to a fledgling luxury goods company
