Grip, Stand and Throw

     This short clip was taken shortly after a laptop launch for the press media somewhere in Taguig.  Here’s a quick recap of what has happend during the launch. The laptop was said to have an enhanced “roll cage” technology better than it’s previous models in it’s class. During the launch proper, videos were shown to the press people. The videos showed the laptop run over by a 26,000lb DOW truck then get physically abused by the “tornado chasing” team members. Although the laptop didn’t really survived as a whole (except for the cage, battery and hdd), the audience were amazed. Considering those press people could be the end-users of the laptop, then that would be a good sign of reaction from them. The event’s momentum was up (rating from 1 to 10, I gave it a 11 LoL), that everyone wants to own one of the said laptop. Going fast forward, here comes one of my favorite portion (aside from the demo portion), the Q & A portion.The first question struck the laptop team;

Question: “How much will it cost out in the market?”
Answer: “ehem….around PhP 120,000.00″

     Suddenly, the momentum was down to -1 LoL. You could now see faces of dismay.haha.

     Anyway, back to the video, the press people somehow managed to ask the laptop team to give a demonstration on how tough the laptop really is.hehe So, the guy then started by throwing the laptop on the table. He threw it a couple of times, the video started in the last one. Then, a woman got the laptop and as you see in the video, she was standing over it.haha (rich people). Btw, throughout the demo, the laptop was on. Well, the result was not that impressive besides the fact that the guy had trouble restoring it from a standby mode (my wild guess would be that the keypads were affected) and also the screen display was no good. The left half of the screen displayed vertical black and white bars indicating it suffered from the simple demo. It was far from those showed on their video demos.

     In the end, who would have thought of owning a laptop worth over a thousand bucks just to be thrown and step on.LMAO
