Lenovo Group Ltd. Wednesday unveiled a laptop bound in hand-stitched brown leather to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the ThinkPad line. It will sell for US$5,000.

Each laptop in the Lenovo ThinkPad Reserve Edition line will be individually numbered, Lenovo said. Only 5,000 will be sold.

For the price, buyers will receive 36 months of “executive class” services that include a one-on-one setup call between the customer and a dedicated service representative, Lenovo said. The same service rep will stay with the customer throughout the laptop’s life. Around-the-clock access to service reps will be available, and Lenovo is even promising access via a toll-free number that will be answered before the fourth ring. If an in-person support call is necessary, the service rep will reach the customer’s location within four hours, and a replacement machine can be shipped overnight if required, Lenovo said.

Very cool, I’ve been reading up about them, they do look very cool, I like the tan leather, I’ve been a big fan of the ThinkPad laptop, I’ve actually just bought a X60s this week for work, and I’ll be doing a post on that later, but the executive support sounds very cool as does the initial setup etc - they’re all things some (granted not everyone) people would be happy to pay for - just like the Vertu mobile phone.
