Yes, you heard that right. When the people at Mercedes Benz Japan collaborate with VAIO for special edition laptops, they create ones that go vroom-vroom when they boot up! How cool is that? Motor heads must just be dying to get their hands on this one, but hold on—these limited edition creations are only for the Japanese market. They are based on the company’s flagship VAIO Z model and come in two different versions, each a nod to two different Mercedes models. The “300SL” variant is a tribute to the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer, fastest production car of its day, famous for the iconic and spectacular gullwing doors. The other version is based on the “Vision Tokyo” Mercedes concept car exhibited at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Along with the boot up sound, the laptops feature special laser engravings of their respective car with preinstalled wallpapers of the cars, too. And there’s the Mecedes Three Pointed Star logo present on the touchpad—along with several other hidden places! The touchpad logo comes with a special transparent cover to protect it from fading with use. The i7 model is priced at 285,000 yen and the i5 at 250,000 yen with only 100 units being up for sale.
